33:1 Manasseh
was
twelve
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
fifty-five
years
in
Jerusalem.
33:2 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
according
to
the
abominations
of
the
nations
whom
the
LORD
drove
out
before
the
people
of
Israel.
33:3 For
he
rebuilt
the
high
places
that
his
father
Hezekiah
had
broken
down,
and
he
erected
altars
to
the
Baals,
and
made
Asherahs,
and
worshiped
all
the
host
of
heaven
and
served
them.
33:4 And
he
built
altars
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
of
which
the
LORD
had
said,
"In
Jerusalem
shall
my
name
be
forever."
33:5 And
he
built
altars
for
all
the
host
of
heaven
in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
the
LORD.
33:6 And
he
burned
his
sons
as
an
offering
in
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnom,
and
used
fortune-telling
and
omens
and
sorcery,
and
dealt
with
mediums
and
with
necromancers.
He
did
much
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
provoking
him
to
anger.
33:7 And
the
carved
image
of
the
idol
that
he
had
made
he
set
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,
I
will
put
my
name
forever,
33:8 and
I
will
no
more
remove
the
foot
of
Israel
from
the
land
that
I
appointed
for
your
fathers,
if
only
they
will
be
careful
to
do
all
that
I
have
commanded
them,
all
the
law,
the
statutes,
and
the
rules
given
through
Moses."
33:9 Manasseh
led
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
astray,
to
do
more
evil
than
the
nations
whom
the
LORD
destroyed
before
the
people
of
Israel.
33:10 The
LORD
spoke
to
Manasseh
and
to
his
people,
but
they
paid
no
attention.
33:11 Therefore
the
LORD
brought
upon
them
the
commanders
of
the
army
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
who
captured
Manasseh
with
hooks
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
bronze
and
brought
him
to
Babylon.
33:12 And
when
he
was
in
distress,
he
entreated
the
favor
of
the
LORD
his
God
and
humbled
himself
greatly
before
the
God
of
his
fathers.
33:13 He
prayed
to
him,
and
God
was
moved
by
his
entreaty
and
heard
his
plea
and
brought
him
again
to
Jerusalem
into
his
kingdom.
Then
Manasseh
knew
that
the
LORD
was
God.
33:14 Afterward
he
built
an
outer
wall
for
the
city
of
David
west
of
Gihon,
in
the
valley,
and
for
the
entrance
into
the
Fish
Gate,
and
carried
it
around
Ophel,
and
raised
it
to
a
very
great
height.
He
also
put
commanders
of
the
army
in
all
the
fortified
cities
in
Judah.
33:15 And
he
took
away
the
foreign
gods
and
the
idol
from
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
all
the
altars
that
he
had
built
on
the
mountain
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
in
Jerusalem,
and
he
threw
them
outside
of
the
city.
33:16 He
also
restored
the
altar
of
the
LORD
and
offered
on
it
sacrifices
of
peace
offerings
and
of
thanksgiving,
and
he
commanded
Judah
to
serve
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel.
33:17 Nevertheless,
the
people
still
sacrificed
at
the
high
places,
but
only
to
the
LORD
their
God.
33:18 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
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
behold,
they
are
in
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Israel.
33:19 And
his
prayer,
and
how
God
was
moved
by
his
entreaty,
and
all
his
sin
and
his
faithlessness,
and
the
sites
on
which
he
built
high
places
and
set
up
the
Asherim
and
the
images,
before
he
humbled
himself,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
Chronicles
of
the
Seers.
33:20 So
Manasseh
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
his
house,
and
Amon
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
33:21 Amon
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
two
years
in
Jerusalem.
33:22 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
done.
Amon
sacrificed
to
all
the
images
that
Manasseh
his
father
had
made,
and
served
them.
33:23 And
he
did
not
humble
himself
before
the
LORD,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
humbled
himself,
but
this
Amon
incurred
guilt
more
and
more.
33:24 And
his
servants
conspired
against
him
and
put
him
to
death
in
his
house.
33:25 But
the
people
of
the
land
struck
down
all
those
who
had
conspired
against
King
Amon.
And
the
people
of
the
land
made
Josiah
his
son
king
in
his
place.
