27 Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place ^dand offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel. And they withdrew from him and returned to their own land.

3 but he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. ^zHe even burned his son as an offering,^{1 a}according to the despicable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

10 And he defiled ^pTopheth, which is ^qin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, ^rthat no one might burn his son or his daughter as an offering to ^sMolech.¹
