2 Kings 21:4 meaning and explanation
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”
2 Kings 21:4, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Manasseh, king of Judah, has just reversed his father Hezekiah's reforms, and verse 4 marks the deepest violation: he builds altars inside the Jerusalem temple itself. The narrator quotes God's promise to David and Solomon that He would place His Name in this house, meaning it belonged to Him alone.
