28 Aʹhaz+ was 20 years old when he became king, and he reigned for 16 years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in Jehovah’s eyes as David his forefather had done.+

3 Moreover, he made sacrificial smoke in the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom* and burned up his sons in the fire,+ following the detestable practices of the nations+ that Jehovah had driven out from before the Israelites.

33 Ma·nasʹseh+ was 12 years old when he became king, and he reigned for 55 years in Jerusalem.+

6 And he made his own sons pass through the fire+ in the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom;+ he practiced magic,+ used divination, practiced sorcery, and appointed spirit mediums and fortune-tellers.+ He did on a grand scale what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, to offend him.

31 They have built the high places of Toʹpheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire,+ something that I had not commanded and that had never even come into my heart.’*+
