3 And he went on walking in all the sins of his father that he did prior to him; and his heart did not prove to be complete+ with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his forefather.+

11 He himself also had made high places+ on the mountains of Judah, that he might cause the inhabitants of Jerusalem to have immoral intercourse,+ and that he might drive Judah away.+

14 But it occurred after Am·a·ziʹah came from striking down the Eʹdom·ites that he now brought the gods+ of the sons of Seʹir and set them up for himself as gods,+ and before them he began to bow down,+ and to them he began to make sacrificial smoke.+

3 So he built again the high places+ that Hez·e·kiʹah his father had pulled down,+ and set up altars+ to the Baʹals+ and made sacred poles,+ and he began to bow+ down to all the army of the heavens+ and serve them.+

17 but we shall positively do every word that has gone forth from our mouth,+ in order to make sacrificial smoke to the ‘queen of the heavens’*+ and to pour* out to her drink offerings,+ just as we ourselves+ and our forefathers,+ our kings+ and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, when we used to be satisfied with bread and to be well off, and we did not see any calamity at all.+
