2KI-21:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign,
and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name [was] Hephzibah.
2KI-21:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast
out before the children of Israel.
2KI-21:3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah
his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and
made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the
host of heaven, and served them.
2KI-21:4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which
the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
2KI-21:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the
two courts of the house of the LORD.
2KI-21:6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed
times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits
and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD,
to provoke [him] to anger.
2KI-21:7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made
in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon
his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen
out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
]2KI-21:8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more
out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will
observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and
according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
2KI-21:9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do
more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before
the children of Israel.
2KI-21:10 And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets,
saying,
2KI-21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these
abominations, [and] hath done wickedly above all that the
Amorites did, which [were] before him, and hath made Judah also
to sin with his idols:
2KI-21:12 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I
[am] bringing [such] evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that
whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
2KI-21:13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria,
and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem
as [a man] wipeth a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside
down.
2KI-21:14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance,
and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall
become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
2KI-21:15 Because they have done [that which was] evil in my
sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their
fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
2KI-21:16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till
he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin
wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing [that which was] evil
in the sight of the LORD.
2KI-21:17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he
did, and his sin that he sinned, [are] they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2KI-21:18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in
the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his
son reigned in his stead.
2KI-21:19 Amon [was] twenty and two years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name [was] Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
2KI-21:20 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, as his father Manasseh did.
2KI-21:21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in,
and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped
them:
2KI-21:22 And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked
not in the way of the LORD.
2KI-21:23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and
slew the king in his own house.
2KI-21:24 And the people of the land slew all them that had
conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made
Josiah his son king in his stead.
2KI-21:25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, [are]
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
2KI-21:26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of
Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
