Manasseh
was twelve
years
old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned
fifty
and five
years
in Jerusalem:
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.
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.

Also he built
altars
in the house
of the LORD,
whereof the LORD
had said,
In Jerusalem
shall my name
be for ever.
And he built
altars
for all the host
of heaven
in the two
courts
of the house
of the LORD.
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.

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:

Neither will I any more

from out
of the land

for your fathers;
so that
they will take heed

them, according to the whole law
and the statutes
and the ordinances

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.
And the LORD
spake
to Manasseh,
and to his people:
but they would not hearken.
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.

And when he was in affliction,
he besought
the LORD
his God,
and humbled
himself greatly
before
the God
of his fathers,
And prayed
unto him: and he was intreated
of him, and heard
his supplication,
and brought him again
to Jerusalem
into his kingdom.
Then Manasseh
knew
that the LORD
he was God.
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.

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

Nevertheless

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

So Manasseh
slept
with his fathers,
and they buried
him in his own house:
and Amon
his son
reigned
in his stead.
Amon
was two
and twenty
years
old
when he began to reign,
and reigned
two
years
in Jerusalem.
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;
And humbled
not himself before
the LORD,
as Manasseh
his father
had humbled
himself; but Amon
trespassed
more and more.
And his servants
conspired
against him, and slew
him in his own house.
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.
