2 Kings 21:6 meaning and explanation
He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
2 Kings 21:6, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The narrator describes King Manasseh of Judah, son of the reforming king Hezekiah, whose long reign undid his father's work. The verse lists the worst of his offenses: he burned his own son as an offering, a practice the Law condemned, and he sought guidance through sorcery, divination, mediums and spiritists rather than through the LORD.
