• 2 Kgs 21:1-9 : 1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the people of Israel. 3 He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, set up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the host of heaven and served them. 4 He built altars in the house of the LORD, about which the LORD had said, 'In Jerusalem I will put My name.' 5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the LORD's house. 6 He sacrificed his own son by fire, practiced divination and omen reading, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. 7 He placed the carved Asherah image he had made in the house about which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever. 8 I will no longer make Israel's feet wander from the land I gave their fathers, if only they will carefully do everything I commanded them and keep the whole law that My servant Moses gave them.' 9 But they did not listen. Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites. 10 The LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying: 11 'Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these detestable things, acting more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has caused Judah to sin with his idols,' 12 'therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring such disaster upon Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.' 13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab. I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and give them into the hands of their enemies. They will become plunder and spoil for all their enemies, 15 because they have done what is evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day. 16 Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin he caused Judah to commit, leading them to do evil in the sight of the LORD. 17 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all he did, including the sin he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 18 Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza. His son Amon reigned in his place.
