Manasseh was twelveyearsoldwhen he began to reign, and reignedfiftyand fiveyearsin Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. And he did that which was evilin the sightof the LORD, after the abominationsof the heathen, whomthe LORDcast outbeforethe childrenof Israel. For he built upagainthe high placeswhichHezekiahhis fatherhad destroyed; and he reared upaltarsfor Baal, and madea grove, asdidAhabkingof Israel; and worshipedallthe hostof heaven, and servedthem. And he builtaltarsin the houseof the LORD, of whichthe LORDsaid, In Jerusalemwill I putmy name. And he builtaltarsfor allthe hostof heavenin the twocourtsof the houseof the LORD. And he made his sonpass throughthe fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealtwith familiar spiritsand wizards: he wroughtmuchwickednessin the sightof the LORD, to provoke him to anger. And he seta graven imageof the grovethathe had madein the house, of whichthe LORDsaidtoDavid, and toSolomonhis son, In thishouse, and in Jerusalem, whichI have chosenout of alltribesof Israel, will I putmy nameforever: Neitherwill I make the feetof Israelmoveany moreout ofthe landwhichI gavetheir fathers; onlyifthey will observeto doaccording to allthatI have commandedthem, and according to allthe lawthatmy servantMosescommandedthem. But they hearkenednot: and Manassehseducedthem to domore evilthandid the nationswhomthe LORDdestroyedbeforethe childrenof Israel. And the LORDspokebyhis servantsthe prophets, saying, BecauseManassehkingof Judahhath donetheseabominations, and hath done wickedlyabove allthatthe Amoritesdid, which were beforehim, and hath made Judahalsoto sinwith his idols: Thereforethussaiththe LORDGodof Israel, Behold, I am bringing such eviluponJerusalemand Judah, thatwhosoeverhearethof it, bothhis earsshall tingle. And I will stretchoverJerusalemthe lineof Samaria, and the plummetof the houseof Ahab: and I will wipeJerusalemas a man wipetha dish, wiping it , and turning it upside down. And I will forsakethe remnantof mine inheritance, and deliverthem into the handof their enemies; and they shall becomea preyand a spoilto alltheir enemies; Becausethey have done that which was evilin my sight, and haveprovoked me to anger, sincethe daytheir fatherscame forthout of Egypt, even untothisday. MoreoverManassehshedinnocentbloodverymuch, tillhe had filledJerusalemfrom one endto another; beside his sinwherewithhe made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evilin the sightof the LORD. Now the restof the actsof Manasseh, and allthathe did, and his sinthathe sinned, are theynotwritteninthe bookof the chroniclesof the kingsof Judah? And Manassehsleptwithhis fathers, and was buriedin the gardenof his own house, in the gardenof Uzza: and Amonhis sonreignedin his stead. Amon was twentyand twoyearsoldwhen he began to reign, and he reignedtwoyearsin Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughterof HaruzofJotbah. And he did that which was evilin the sightof the LORD, ashis fatherManassehdid. And he walkedin allthe waythathis fatherwalked in, and servedthe idolsthathis fatherserved, and worshipedthem: And he forsookthe LORDGodof his fathers, and walkednotin the wayof the LORD. And the servantsof Amonconspiredagainsthim, and slewthe kingin his own house. And the peopleof the landslewallthem that had conspiredagainstkingAmon; and the peopleof the landmade Josiahhis sonkingin his stead. Now the restof the actsof Amonwhichhe did, are theynotwritteninthe bookof the chroniclesof the kingsof Judah? And he was buriedin his sepulcherin the gardenof Uzza: and Josiahhis sonreignedin his stead.
