2 Kings 21:4

Manasseh Reigns in Judah

3For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.4Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”5In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
