2 Kings 21:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ He built altars in the Lord's temple.^[a] The Lord had said about his temple, ‘That is my home in Jerusalem where people will worship me.’

⁵ Manasseh built altars to give honour to the stars, in both yards of the Lord's temple. ⁶ He burnt his own son with fire as a sacrifice. He used magic and false gods to find out what would happen in the future. He took advice from magicians and people who talked to the spirits of dead people. He did many things that the Lord said were very evil. This made the Lord very angry.
