For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

the high places: 2 Kings 18:4 2 Kings 18:22 2 Chronicles 32:12 ; 34:3
he reared: 10:18-20 1 Kings 16:31-33 ; 1 Kings 18:21 1 Kings 18:26
