2 Chronicles 33
- 1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
- 2But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like to the disgusting practices of the nations, who the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
- 3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made Asherah poles, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.
- 4Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
- 5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
- 6And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used secret arts, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
- 7And 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:
- 8Neither 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 be careful to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the decrees and the rules by the hand of Moses.
- 9So Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem to go astray, and to do worse than the nations, who the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
- 10And the Lord spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not listen.
- 11Therefore the Lord brought on them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with chains, and carried him to Babylon.
- 12And when he was in suffering, he begged the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
- 13And prayed to him: and he granted his plea, and heard his pleading, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.
- 14Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and surrounded about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
- 15And 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.
- 16And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
- 17But the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet to the Lord their God only.
- 18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
- 19His prayer also, and how God granted his plea, and all his sins, and his sin, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherah poles and carved idols, before he was humbled: they are written among the sayings of the seers.
- 20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
- 21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
- 22But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father. For Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
- 23And did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but Amon sinned more and more.
- 24And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his own house.
- 25But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon. The people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
