1 Manasseh{H4519} was twelve{H8147}{H6240} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign{H4427}{(H8800)}, and reigned{H4427}{(H8804)} fifty{H2572} and five{H2568} years{H8141} in Jerusalem{H3389}. And his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Hephzibah{H2657}.

2 And he did{H6213}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8689)} before{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

3 For he built up{H1129}{(H8799)} again{H7725}{(H8799)} the high places{H1116} which Hezekiah{H2396} his father{H1} had destroyed{H6}{(H8765)}; and he reared up{H6965}{(H8686)} altars{H4196} for Baal{H1168}, and made{H6213}{(H8799)} a grove{H842}, as did{H6213}{(H8804)} Ahab{H256} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}; and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} all the host{H6635} of heaven{H8064}, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} them.

4 And he built{H1129}{(H8804)} altars{H4196} in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, of which the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8804)}, In Jerusalem{H3389} will I put{H7760}{(H8799)} my name{H8034}.

5 And he built{H1129}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8689)} through the fire{H784}, and observed times{H6049}{(H8782)}, and used enchantments{H5172}{(H8765)}, and dealt{H6213}{(H8804)} with familiar spirits{H178} and wizards{H3049}: he wrought{H6213}{(H8800)} much{H7235}{(H8689)} wickedness{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, to provoke him to anger{H3707}{(H8687)}.

7 And he set{H7760}{(H8799)} a graven image{H6459} of the grove{H842} that he had made{H6213}{(H8804)} in the house{H1004}, of which the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8804)} to David{H1732}, and to Solomon{H8010} his son{H1121}, In this house{H1004}, and in Jerusalem{H3389}, which I have chosen{H977}{(H8804)} out of all tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478}, will I put{H7760}{(H8799)} my name{H8034} for ever{H5769}:

8 Neither will I make the feet{H7272} of Israel{H3478} move{H5110}{(H8687)} any more{H3254}{(H8686)} out of the land{H127} which I gave{H5414}{(H8804)} their fathers{H1}; only if they will observe{H8104}{(H8799)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} according to all that I have commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} them, and according to all the law{H8451} that my servant{H5650} Moses{H4872} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} them.

9 But they hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not: and Manasseh{H4519} seduced{H8582}{(H8686)} them to do{H6213}{(H8800)} more evil{H7451} than did the nations{H1471} whom the LORD{H3068} destroyed{H8045}{(H8689)} before{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

10 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} by{H3027} his servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

11 Because Manasseh{H4519} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} hath done{H6213}{(H8804)} these abominations{H8441}, and hath done wickedly{H7489}{(H8689)} above all that the Amorites{H567} did{H6213}{(H8804)}, which were before{H6440} him, and hath made Judah{H3063} also to sin{H2398}{(H8686)} with his idols{H1544}:

12 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, Behold, I am bringing{H935}{(H8688)} such evil{H7451} upon Jerusalem{H3389} and Judah{H3063}, that whosoever heareth{H8085}{(H8802)} of it, both{H8147} his ears{H241} shall tingle{H6750}{(H8799)}.

13 And I will stretch{H5186}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} Jerusalem{H3389} as a man wipeth{H4229}{(H8799)} a dish{H6747}, wiping{H4229}{(H8804)} it, and turning{H2015}{(H8804)} it upside down{H6440}.

14 And I will forsake{H5203}{(H8804)} the remnant{H7611} of mine inheritance{H5159}, and deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} them into the hand{H3027} of their enemies{H341}{(H8802)}; and they shall become a prey{H957} and a spoil{H4933} to all their enemies{H341}{(H8802)};

15 Because they have done{H6213}{(H8804)} that which was evil{H7451} in my sight{H5869}, and have provoked{H4480} me to anger{H3707}{(H8688)}, since the day{H3117} their fathers{H1} came forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of Egypt{H4714}, even unto this day{H3117}.

16 Moreover Manasseh{H4519} shed{H8210}{(H8804)} innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} very{H3966} much{H7235}{(H8687)}, till he had filled{H4390}{(H8765)} Jerusalem{H3389} from one end{H6310} to another{H6310}; beside his sin{H2403} wherewith he made Judah{H3063} to sin{H2398}{(H8689)}, in doing{H6213}{(H8800)} 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}{(H8804)}, and his sin{H2403} that he sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, are they not written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697}{H3117} of the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063}?

18 And Manasseh{H4519} slept{H7901}{(H8799)} with his fathers{H1}, and was buried{H6912}{(H8735)} in the garden{H1588} of his own house{H1004}, in the garden{H1588} of Uzza{H5798}: and Amon{H526} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead.

19 Amon{H526} was twenty{H6242} and two{H8147} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign{H4427}{(H8800)}, and he reigned{H4427}{(H8804)} 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}.

20 And he did{H6213}{(H8799)} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, as his father{H1} Manasseh{H4519} did{H6213}{(H8804)}.

21 And he walked{H3212}{(H8799)} in all the way{H1870} that his father{H1} walked in{H1980}{(H8804)}, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} the idols{H1544} that his father{H1} served{H5647}{(H8804)}, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} them:

22 And he forsook{H5800}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of his fathers{H1}, and walked{H1980}{(H8804)} not in the way{H1870} of the LORD{H3068}.

23 And the servants{H5650} of Amon{H526} conspired{H7194}{(H8799)} against him, and slew{H4191}{(H8686)} the king{H4428} in his own house{H1004}.

24 And the people{H5971} of the land{H776} slew{H5221}{(H8686)} all them that had conspired{H7194}{(H8802)} against king{H4428} Amon{H526}; and the people{H5971} of the land{H776} made Josiah{H2977} his son{H1121} king{H4427}{(H8686)} in his stead.

25 Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Amon{H526} which he did{H6213}{(H8804)}, are they not written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697}{H3117} of the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063}?

26 And he was buried{H6912}{(H8799)} in his sepulchre{H6900} in the garden{H1588} of Uzza{H5798}: and Josiah{H2977} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead.
