  • 2 Chr 33:1-9 : 1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, set up altars to the Baals, made Asherah poles, and worshipped all the stars of the sky and served them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the LORD, about which the LORD had said, 'My name will remain in Jerusalem forever.' 5 He built altars to all the stars of the sky in both courtyards of the temple of the LORD. 6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination, sought omens, practiced witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger. 7 Manasseh took a carved idol that he had made and placed it in the temple of God, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, 'In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.' 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites wander from the land I gave to their ancestors, if they are careful to do everything I commanded them concerning the whole Law, the statutes, and the judgments given through Moses. 9 But Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites. 10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen. 11 So the LORD brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria. They captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon. 12 When he was in distress, he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 He prayed to Him, and the LORD was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea. He brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God. 14 Afterward, he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David west of Gihon in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and surrounding the Ophel. He made it much higher. He also placed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 He removed the foreign gods and the image from the house of the LORD, and all the altars he had built on the hill of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city. 16 Then he restored the altar of the LORD and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and thanksgiving. And he commanded Judah to worship the LORD, the God of Israel. 17 However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God. 18 The rest of the acts of Manasseh, including his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 19 His prayer and how God was moved by his plea, all his sins and unfaithfulness, the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and carved images before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers. 20 Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his house. And his son Amon became king in his place.
