[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. [2] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel. [3] For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them. [4] He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.” [5] He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house. [6] He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger. [7] He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh 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 not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.” [9] But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel. [10] Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, [11] “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols; [12] therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. [13] I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. [14] I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies, [15] because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’” [16] Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. [17] Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [18] Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place. [19] Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. [20] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did. [21] He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them; [22] and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh. [23] The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house. [24] But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. [25] Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [26] He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.

Manasseh

[1] 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 H517 name H8034 was Hephzi-bah. 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 H834 the Lord H3068 cast out H3423 before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478 [3] For he built up H1129 again H7725 H853 the high places H1116 which H834 Hezekiah H2396 his father H1 had destroyed; H6 and he reared up H6965 altars H4196 for Baal, H1168 and made H6213 a grove, H842 as did H6213 Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel; H3478 and worshipped H7812 all H3605 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, H559 In Jerusalem H3389 will I put H7760 H853 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] H853 And he made his son H1121 pass H5674 through the fire, H784 and observed times, H6049 and used enchantments, H5172 and dealt H6213 with familiar spirits H178 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 H853 a graven image H6459 of the grove H842 that he had made H6213 in the house, H1004 of which the Lord H3068 said H559 to David, H1732 and to Solomon H8010 his son, H1121 In this house, H1004 and in Jerusalem, H3389 which H834 I have chosen H977 out of all tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 will I put H7760 H853 my name H8034 for ever: H5769 [8] neither will I make the feet H7272 of Israel H3478 move H5110 any more H3254 out of H4480 the land H127 which H834 I gave H5414 their fathers; H1 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 H853 more evil H7451 than did the nations H1471 whom H834 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, H559 [11] Because Manasseh H4519 king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath done H6213 these H428 abominations, H8441 and hath done wickedly H7489 above all that the Amorites H567 did, H6213 which were before H6440 him, and hath made Judah H3063 also H1571 to sin H2398 with his idols: H1544 [12] therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Behold, I am bringing H935 such evil H7451 upon H5921 Jerusalem H3389 and Judah, H3063 that whosoever heareth H8085 of it, both H8147 his ears H241 shall tingle. H6750 [13] And I will stretch H5186 over H5921 Jerusalem H3389 H853 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 H853 a dish, H6747 wiping H4229 it, and turning H2015 it upside down. H6440 [14] And I will forsake H5203 H853 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 [15] because they have done H6213 H853 that which was 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 [16] Moreover Manasseh H4519 shed H8210 innocent H5355 blood H1818 very H3966 much, H7235 till H5704 he had filled H4390 H853 Jerusalem H3389 from one end H6310 to another; H6310§ beside his sin H2403 H853 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 H5973 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

[19] 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 [20] And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 as his father H1 Manasseh H4519 did. H6213 [21] And he walked H3212 in all the way H1870 that his father H1 walked in, H1980 and served H5647 H853 the idols H1544 that his father H1 served, H5647 and worshipped H7812 them: [22] and he forsook H5800 the Lord H3068 God H430 of his fathers, H1 and walked H1980 not H3808 in the way H1870 of the Lord. H3068 [23] And the servants H5650 of Amon H526 conspired H7194 against H5921 him, and slew H4191 H853 the king H4428 in his own house. H1004 [24] And the people H5971 of the land H776 slew H5221 all H3605 them that had conspired H7194 against H5921 king H4428 Amon; H526 and the people H5971 of the land H776 H853 made Josiah H2977 his son H1121 king H4427 in his stead. [25] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Amon H526 which H834 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.
