And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who were living in Gur-Baal and Meunim.

But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made molten idols for the Baals.

And {he rebuilt} the high places that Hezekiah his father broke down, and he set up altars for the Baals, made Asherahs, and bowed down to the host of heaven and served them.

And he destroyed before him the altars for the Baals, and he cut down the incense stands above them. And the Asherahs, the idols, and the images he smashed. And he ground [them] to powder and sprinkled [the dust] over the burial sites of those who sacrificed to them.
