He built up again the high places Trampling upon the dust of his worthy father, and affronting his memory. And worshipped all the host of heaven The sun, moon, and stars, which the Gentiles had transformed into gods. He built altars To the gods of the neighbouring nations, and to the host of heaven; in the house of the Lord Not only in Jerusalem, where the Lord had recorded his name, but even in the courts of the temple itself, both in that where the priests and Levites performed their services, and in that wherein the people worshipped. Thus, when the faithful worshippers of God came to the place he had appointed, to do their duty to him, to their great grief and terror, they found the altars of other gods ready to receive their offerings.
