Vulgate

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἃ κατέσπασεν Ἑζεκίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔστησεν στήλαν τοῖν Βααλεὶμ καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄλση, καὶ προσεκύνησεν πάσῃ τῇ στρατείᾳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς.

LXX

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
