2 Chronicles 33:5-7
International Standard Version
5 He built altars for all the armies[a] of heaven in the two courtyards of the Lord’s Temple.[b] 6 He burned his sons[c] as an offering in the Ben-hinnom Valley, practiced fortune-telling, witchcraft, sorcery, and communicated with mediums and spiritualists. He did a lot of things that the Lord considered to be evil, thus provoking him. 7 He also placed an image that he had carved in God’s Temple, the place about which God had told to David and to his son Solomon, “I will place my name in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,”[d]
