His mother was Hephzibah. 2 Jr 15.4Following the disgusting practices of the nations whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as his people advanced, Manasseh sinned against the Lord. 3 He rebuilt the pagan places of worship that his father Hezekiahhad destroyed; he built altars for the worship of Baal and made an image of the goddess Asherah, as King Ahabof Israel had done. Manasseh also worshiped the stars. 4 2 S 7.13He built pagan altars in the Temple, the place that the Lordhad said was where he should be worshiped. 5 In the two courtyards of the Temple he built altars for the worship of the stars. 6 He sacrificed his son as a burnt offering. He practiced divination and magic and consulted21.6: consulted; or brought back.fortunetellers and mediums. He sinned greatly against the Lordand stirred up his anger. 7 1 K 9.3-5;2 Ch 7.12-18He placed the symbol of the goddess Asherah in the Temple, the place about which the Lordhad said to Davidand his son Solomon: "Here in Jerusalem, in this Temple, is the place that I have chosen out of all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel as the place where I am to be worshiped. 8 And if the people of Israel will obey all my commands and keep the whole Law that my servant Mosesgave them, then I will not allow them to be driven out of the land that I gave to their ancestors." 9 But the people of Judah did not obey the Lord, and Manassehled them to commit even greater sins than those committed by the nations whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as his people advanced.
