2 Chronicles 33 (WEBP)

[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
[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 broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
[4] He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
[5] He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
[6] He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, 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 the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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 any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
[9] Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
[10] Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
[11] Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
[12] When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
[13] He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
[14] Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
[15] He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of Yahweh’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of Yahweh’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
[16] He built up Yahweh’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
[17] Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
[18] Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
[19] His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
[20] So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
[21] Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
[22] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
[23] He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
[24] His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
[25] 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.

2 Chronicles 33 (KJVS)

[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
[2] but did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
[4] Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
[6] And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
[7] And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
[8] neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
[9] So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
[10] And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
[11] Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
[12] And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
[13] and prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.
[14] Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
[15] And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
[16] And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
[17] Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
[18] Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
[19] His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
[20] So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
[21] Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
[22] But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
[23] and humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
[24] And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
[25] But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
