2CH-33:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2CH-33:2 But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had
cast out before the children of Israel.
2CH-33:3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his
father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and
made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
them.
2CH-33:4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof
the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
2CH-33:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the
two courts of the house of the LORD.
2CH-33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in
the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and
used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a
familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the
sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
2CH-33:7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made,
in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to
Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have
chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for
ever:
2CH-33:8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from
out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that
they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them,
according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances
by the hand of Moses.
2CH-33:9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had
destroyed before the children of Israel.
2CH-33:10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but
they would not hearken.
2CH-33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of
the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the
thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
2CH-33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD
his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his
fathers,
2CH-33:13 And prayed unto him: and he was entreated of him, and
heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into
his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [was] God.
2CH-33:14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of
David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the
entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and
raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all
the fenced cities of Judah.
2CH-33:15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of
the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in
the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast
[them] out of the city.
2CH-33:16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed
thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah
to serve the LORD God of Israel.
2CH-33:17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the
high places, [yet] unto the LORD their God only.
2CH-33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer
unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in
the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written]
in the book of the kings of Israel.
2CH-33:19 His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated of him,
and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he
built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before
he was humbled: behold, they [are] written among the sayings of
the seers.
2CH-33:20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried
him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
2CH-33:21 Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to
reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
2CH-33:22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all
the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served
them;
2CH-33:23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh
his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and
more.
2CH-33:24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him
in his own house.
2CH-33:25 But 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.
