Manasseh <H4519> [was] twelve <H8147> <H6240> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and reigned <H4427> fifty <H2572> and five <H2568> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Hephzibah. <H2657>
2
And he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> after the abominations <H8441> of the heathen, <H1471> whom the LORD <H3068> cast out <H3423> before <H6440> the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>
3
For he built up <H1129> again <H7725> the high places <H1116> which Hezekiah <H2396> his father <H0001> had destroyed; <H0006> and he reared up <H6965> altars <H4196> for Baal, <H1168> and made <H6213> a grove, <H0842> as did <H6213> Ahab <H0256> king <H4428> of Israel; <H3478> and worshipped <H7812> all the host <H6635> of heaven, <H8064> and served <H5647> them.
4
And he built <H1129> altars <H4196> in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> of which the LORD <H3068> said, <H0559> In Jerusalem <H3389> will I put <H7760> my name. <H8034>
5
And he built <H1129> altars <H4196> for all the host <H6635> of heaven <H8064> in the two <H8147> courts <H2691> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
6
And he made his son <H1121> pass <H5674> through the fire, <H0784> and observed times, <H6049> and used enchantments, <H5172> and dealt <H6213> with familiar spirits <H0178> and wizards: <H3049> he wrought <H6213> much <H7235> wickedness <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> to provoke [him] to anger. <H3707>
7
And he set <H7760> a graven image <H6459> of the grove <H0842> that he had made <H6213> in the house, <H1004> of which the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> to David, <H1732> and to Solomon <H8010> his son, <H1121> In this house, <H1004> and in Jerusalem, <H3389> which I have chosen <H0977> out of all tribes <H7626> of Israel, <H3478> will I put <H7760> my name <H8034> for ever: <H5769>
8
Neither will I make the feet <H7272> of Israel <H3478> move <H5110> any more <H3254> out of the land <H0127> which I gave <H5414> their fathers; <H0001> only if they will observe <H8104> to do <H6213> according to all that I have commanded <H6680> them, and according to all the law <H8451> that my servant <H5650> Moses <H4872> commanded <H6680> them.
9
But they hearkened <H8085> not: and Manasseh <H4519> seduced <H8582> them to do <H6213> more evil <H7451> than did the nations <H1471> whom the LORD <H3068> destroyed <H8045> before <H6440> the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>
10
And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> by <H3027> his servants <H5650> the prophets, <H5030> saying, <H0559>
11
Because Manasseh <H4519> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> hath done <H6213> these abominations, <H8441> [and] hath done wickedly <H7489> above all that the Amorites <H0567> did, <H6213> which [were] before <H6440> him, and hath made Judah <H3063> also to sin <H2398> with his idols: <H1544>
12
Therefore thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> Behold, I [am] bringing <H0935> [such] evil <H7451> upon Jerusalem <H3389> and Judah, <H3063> that whosoever heareth <H8085> of it, both <H8147> his ears <H0241> shall tingle. <H6750>
13
And I will stretch <H5186> over Jerusalem <H3389> the line <H6957> of Samaria, <H8111> and the plummet <H4949> of the house <H1004> of Ahab: <H0256> and I will wipe <H4229> Jerusalem <H3389> as [a man] wipeth <H4229> a dish, <H6747> wiping <H4229> [it], and turning <H2015> [it] upside down. <H6440>
14
And I will forsake <H5203> the remnant <H7611> of mine inheritance, <H5159> and deliver <H5414> them into the hand <H3027> of their enemies; <H0341> and they shall become a prey <H0957> and a spoil <H4933> to all their enemies; <H0341>
15
Because they have done <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in my sight, <H5869> and have provoked me to anger, <H3707> since <H4480> the day <H3117> their fathers <H0001> came forth <H3318> out of Egypt, <H4714> even unto this day. <H3117>
16
Moreover Manasseh <H4519> shed <H8210> innocent <H5355> blood <H1818> very <H3966> much, <H7235> till he had filled <H4390> Jerusalem <H3389> from one end <H6310> to another; <H6310> beside his sin <H2403> wherewith he made Judah <H3063> to sin, <H2398> in doing <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD. <H3068>
17
Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Manasseh, <H4519> and all that he did, <H6213> and his sin <H2403> that he sinned, <H2398> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Judah? <H3063>
18
And Manasseh <H4519> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and was buried <H6912> in the garden <H1588> of his own house, <H1004> in the garden <H1588> of Uzza: <H5798> and Amon <H0526> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
19
Amon <H0526> [was] twenty <H6242> and two <H8147> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> two <H8147> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Meshullemeth, <H4922> the daughter <H1323> of Haruz <H2743> of Jotbah. <H3192>
20
And he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> as his father <H0001> Manasseh <H4519> did. <H6213>
21
And he walked <H3212> in all the way <H1870> that his father <H0001> walked in, <H1980> and served <H5647> the idols <H1544> that his father <H0001> served, <H5647> and worshipped <H7812> them:
22
And he forsook <H5800> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of his fathers, <H0001> and walked <H1980> not in the way <H1870> of the LORD. <H3068>
23
And the servants <H5650> of Amon <H0526> conspired <H7194> against him, and slew <H4191> the king <H4428> in his own house. <H1004>
24
And the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> slew <H5221> all them that had conspired <H7194> against king <H4428> Amon; <H0526> and the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> made Josiah <H2977> his son <H1121> king <H4427> in his stead.
25
Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Amon <H0526> which he did, <H6213> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Judah? <H3063>
26
And he was buried <H6912> in his sepulchre <H6900> in the garden <H1588> of Uzza: <H5798> and Josiah <H2977> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
