Book 14 2 Chronicles Chapter 033

 

033:001Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

 

033:002But 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.

 

033:003For 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.

 

033:004Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the
LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

 

033:005And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two
courts of the house of the LORD.

 

033:006And 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.

 

033:007And 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:

 

033:008Neither 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.

 

033:009So 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.

 

033:010And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they
would not hearken.

 

033:011Wherefore 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.

 

033:012And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God,
and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

 

033:013And 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.

 

033:014Now 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.

 

033:015And 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.

 

033:016And 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.

 

033:017Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high
places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

 

033:018Now 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.

 

033:019His 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.

 

033:020So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his
own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

 

033:021Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and
reigned two years in Jerusalem.

 

033:022But 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;

 

033:023And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his
father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

 

033:024And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his
own house.

 

033:025But 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.
