| 2 Chronicles 33:1 |
|
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began
to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:2 |
|
And he did that which was evil in the sight
of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before
the children of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:3 |
|
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah
his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth,
and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:4 |
|
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah,
whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:5 |
|
And he built altars for all the host of heaven
in the two courts of the house of Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:6 |
|
He also made his children to pass through the
fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised augury, and used enchantments,
and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with
wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
|
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:7 |
|
And he set the graven image of the idol, which
he had made, in the house of God, 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, will I put my name for ever: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:8 |
|
neither will I 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 and the statutes and the
ordinances given by Moses. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:9 |
|
And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed
before the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:10 |
|
And Jehovah spake to Manasseh, and to his people;
but they gave no heed. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:11 |
|
Wherefore Jehovah brought upon them the captains
of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him
with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:12 |
|
And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah
his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:13 |
|
And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated
of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his
kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah he was God. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:14 |
|
Now after this he built an outer wall to the
city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance
at the fish gate; and he compassed Ophel about with it, and raised it up to a
very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of
Judah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:15 |
|
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol
out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount
of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:16 |
|
And he built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered
thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah
to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:17 |
|
Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in
the high places, but only unto Jehovah their God. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:18 |
|
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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the
kings of Israel. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:19 |
|
His prayer also, and how God was entreated of
him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places,
and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself: behold,
they are written in the history of Hozai. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:20 |
|
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they
buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:21 |
|
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began
to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:22 |
|
And he did that which was evil in the sight
of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven
images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:23 |
|
And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as
Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and
more. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:24 |
|
And his servants conspired against him, and
put him to death in his own house. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 33:25 |
|
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. |
