Manasseh{H4519} was twelve{H8147} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} five{H2568} and fifty{H2572} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Hephzibah.{H2657}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} after the abominations{H8441} of the nations{H1471} whom Jehovah{H3068} cast out{H3423} before{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

For he built{H1129} again{H7725} the high places{H1116} which Hezekiah{H2396} his father{H1} had destroyed;{H6} and he reared up{H6965} altars{H4196} for Baal,{H1168} and made{H6213} an Asherah,{H842} as did{H6213} Ahab{H256} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} and worshipped{H7812} all the host{H6635} of heaven,{H8064} and served{H5647} them.

And he built{H1129} altars{H4196} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} whereof Jehovah{H3068} said,{H559} In Jerusalem{H3389} will I put{H7760} my name.{H8034}

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 Jehovah.{H3068}

And he made his son{H1121} to pass{H5674} through the fire,{H784} and practised augury,{H6049} and used enchantments,{H5172} and dealt{H6213} with them that had familiar spirits,{H178} and with wizards:{H3049} he wrought{H6213} much{H7235} evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} to provoke him to anger.{H3707}

And he set{H7760} the graven image{H6459} of Asherah,{H842} that he had made,{H6213} in the house{H1004} of which Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} to David{H1732} and to Solomon{H8010} his son,{H1121} In this house,{H1004} and in Jerusalem,{H3389} which I have chosen{H977} out of all the tribes{H7626} of Israel,{H3478} will I put{H7760} my name{H8034} for ever;{H5769}

neither will I cause the feet{H7272} of Israel{H3478} to wander{H5110} any more{H3254} out of the land{H127} which I gave{H5414} their fathers,{H1} if only 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.

But they hearkened{H8085} not: and Manasseh{H4519} seduced{H8582} them to do{H6213} that which is evil{H7451} more than did the nations{H1471} whom Jehovah{H3068} destroyed{H8045} before{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} by{H3027} his servants{H5650} the prophets,{H5030} saying,{H559}

Because Manasseh{H4519} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} hath done{H6213} these abominations,{H8441} and hath done wickedly{H7489} above all that the Amorites{H567} did,{H6213} that were before{H6440} him, and hath made Judah{H3063} also to sin{H2398} with his idols;{H1544}

therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Behold, I bring{H935} such evil{H7451} upon Jerusalem{H3389} and Judah,{H3063} that whosoever heareth{H8085} of it, both{H8147} his ears{H241} shall tingle.{H6750}

And I will stretch{H5186} over Jerusalem{H3389} the line{H6957} of Samaria,{H8111} and the plummet{H4949} of the house{H1004} of Ahab;{H256} 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}

And I will cast off{H5203} the remnant{H7611} of mine inheritance,{H5159} and deliver{H5414} them into the hand{H3027} of their enemies;{H341} and they shall become a prey{H957} and a spoil{H4933} to all their enemies;{H341}

because they have done{H6213} that which is evil{H7451} in my sight,{H5869} and have provoked{H4480} me to anger,{H3707} since the day{H3117} their fathers{H1} came forth{H3318} out of Egypt,{H4714} even unto this day.{H3117}

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} besides his sin{H2403} wherewith he made Judah{H3063} to sin,{H2398} in doing{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah.{H3068}

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} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

And Manasseh{H4519} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} in the garden{H1588} of his own house,{H1004} in the garden{H1588} of Uzza:{H5798} and Amon{H526} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

Amon{H526} 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{H517} name{H8034} was Meshullemeth{H4922} the daughter{H1323} of Haruz{H2743} of Jotbah.{H3192}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} as did{H6213} Manasseh{H4519} his father.{H1}

And he walked{H3212} in all the way{H1870} that his father{H1} walked in,{H1980} and served{H5647} the idols{H1544} that his father{H1} served,{H5647} and worshipped{H7812} them:

and he forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of his fathers,{H1} and walked{H1980} not in the way{H1870} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And the servants{H5650} of Amon{H526} conspired{H7194} against him, and put the king{H4428} to death{H4191} in his own house.{H1004}

But the people{H5971} of the land{H776} slew{H5221} all them that had conspired{H7194} against king{H4428} Amon;{H526} and the people{H5971} of the land{H776} made Josiah{H2977} his son{H1121} king{H4427} in his stead.

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Amon{H526} which he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

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.
