2 Chronicles 33:3 In-Context

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

3 For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.

4 Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”

5 In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
