1 # Manasseh <04519> was twelve <08147> <06240> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427> (8804) fifty <02572> and five <02568> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389> :
2 But did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, like unto the abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471>, whom the LORD <03068> had cast out <03423> (8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
3 For he built <01129> (8799) again <07725> (8799) the high places <01116> which Hezekiah <03169> his father <01> had broken down <05422> (8765), and he reared up <06965> (8686) altars <04196> for Baalim <01168>, and made <06213> (8799) groves <0842>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) all the host <06635> of heaven <08064>, and served <05647> (8799) them.
4 Also he built <01129> (8804) altars <04196> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, whereof the LORD <03068> had said <0559> (8804), In Jerusalem <03389> shall my name <08034> be for ever <05769>.
5 And he built <01129> (8799) altars <04196> for all the host <06635> of heaven <08064> in the two <08147> courts <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
6 And he caused <05674> <00> his children <01121> to pass through <05674> (8689) the fire <0784> in the valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>: also he observed times <06049> (8782), and used enchantments <05172> (8765), and used witchcraft <03784> (8765), and dealt <06213> (8804) with a familiar spirit <0178>, and with wizards <03049> : he wrought <06213> (8800) much <07235> (8689) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, to provoke him to anger <03707> (8687).
7 And he set <07760> (8799) a carved image <06459>, the idol <05566> which he had made <06213> (8804) , in the house <01004> of God <0430>, of which God <0430> had said <0559> (8804) to David <01732> and to Solomon <08010> his son <01121>, In this house <01004>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, which I have chosen <0977> (8804) before all the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, will I put <07760> (8799) my name <08034> for ever <05865>:
8 Neither will I any more <03254> (8686) remove <05493> (8687) the foot <07272> of Israel <03478> from out <05921> of the land <0127> which I have appointed <05975> (8689) for your fathers <01>; so that <0518> they will take heed <08104> (8799) to do <06213> (8800) all that I have commanded <06680> (8765) them, according to the whole law <08451> and the statutes <02706> and the ordinances <04941> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>.
9 So Manasseh <04519> made <08582> <00> Judah <03063> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to err <08582> (8686), and to do <06213> (8800) worse <07451> than the heathen <01471>, whom the LORD <03068> had destroyed <08045> (8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
10 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) to Manasseh <04519>, and to his people <05971>: but they would not hearken <07181> (8689).
11 # Wherefore the LORD <03068> brought <0935> (8686) upon them the captains of <08269> the host of <06635> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, which took <03920> (8799) Manasseh <04519> among the thorns <02336>, and bound him <0631> (8799) with fetters <05178>, and carried <03212> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>.
12 And when he was in affliction <06887> (8687), he besought <02470> (8765) the LORD <03068> his God <0430> , and humbled <03665> (8735) himself greatly <03966> before <06440> the God <0430> of his fathers <01>,
13 And prayed <06419> (8691) unto him: and he was intreated <06279> (8735) of him, and heard <08085> (8799) his supplication <08467>, and brought him again <07725> (8686) to Jerusalem <03389> into his kingdom <04438>. Then Manasseh <04519> knew <03045> (8799) that the LORD <03068> he was God <0430>.
14 Now after this <0310> he built <01129> (8804) a wall <02346> without <02435> the city <05892> of David <01732>, on the west side <04628> of Gihon <01521>, in the valley <05158>, even to the entering in <0935> (8800) at the fish <01709> gate <08179>, and compassed <05437> (8804) about Ophel <06077>, and raised it up <01361> (8686) a very great height <03966>, and put <07760> (8799) captains <08269> of war <02428> in all the fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>.
15 And he took away <05493> (8686) the strange <05236> gods <0430>, and the idol <05566> out of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and all the altars <04196> that he had built <01129> (8804) in the mount <02022> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, and cast <07993> (8686) them out <02351> of the city <05892> .
16 And he repaired <01129> (8799) the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>, and sacrificed <02076> (8799) thereon peace <08002> offerings <02077> and thank offerings <08426>, and commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> to serve <05647> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
17 Nevertheless <061> the people <05971> did sacrifice <02076> (8802) still in the high places <01116>, yet unto the LORD <03068> their God <0430> only.
18 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Manasseh <04519>, and his prayer <08605> unto his God <0430>, and the words <01697> of the seers <02374> that spake <01696> (8764) to him in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, behold, they are written in the book <01697> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
19 His prayer <08605> also, and how God was intreated <06279> (8736) of him, and all his sin <02403>, and his trespass <04604>, and the places <04725> wherein he built <01129> (8804) high places <01116>, and set up <05975> (8689) groves <0842> and graven images <06456>, before <06440> he was humbled <03665> (8736): behold, they are written <03789> (8803) among the sayings <01697> of the seers <02374> (8676) <02335>.
20 So Manasseh <04519> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in his own house <01004>: and Amon <0526> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
21 # Amon <0526> was two <08147> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and reigned <04427> (8804) two <08147> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>.
22 But he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, as did <06213> (8804) Manasseh <04519> his father <01>: for Amon <0526> sacrificed <02076> (8765) unto all the carved images <06456> which Manasseh <04519> his father <01> had made <06213> (8804), and served <05647> (8799) them;
23 And humbled <03665> (8738) not himself before <06440> the LORD <03068>, as Manasseh <04519> his father <01> had humbled <03665> (8736) himself; but Amon <0526> trespassed <0819> more and more <07235> (8689).
24 And his servants <05650> conspired <07194> (8799) against him, and slew <04191> (8686) him in his own house <01004>.
25 But the people <05971> of the land <0776> slew <05221> (8686) all them that had conspired <07194> (8802) against king <04428> Amon <0526>; and the people <05971> of the land <0776> made <04427> <00> Josiah <02977> his son <01121> king <04427> (8686) in his stead.
