3 και επεστρεψεν και ωκοδομησεν τα υψηλα α κατεσπασεν εζεκιας ο πατηρ αυτου και ανεστησεν θυσιαστηριον τη βααλ και εποιησεν αλση καθως εποιησεν αχααβ βασιλευς ισραηλ και προσεκυνησεν παση τη δυναμει του ουρανου και εδουλευσεν αυτοις	3 He rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had destroyed, he set up altars to Baal and madea sacred pole as Ahab king of Israel had done, he worshipped the whole array of heaven and served it.

15 ανθ' ων οσα εποιησαν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις μου και ησαν παροργιζοντες με απο της ημερας ης εξηγαγον τους πατερας αυτων εξ αιγυπτου και εως της ημερας ταυτης	15 because they have done what is displeasing to me and have provoked my anger from the day theirancestors came out of Egypt until now."
