SCRIPTURE

"And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever." — 2 Chronicles 33:4 (ASV)

Also he built ... In Jerusalem. —Literally as Kings. Manasseh built altars in the Temple, as Ahaz had done (2 Kings 16:10 and following).

Shall my name be for ever. —A heightening of the phrase in Kings, “I will set my name.”
