21:1 Manasseh
was
twelve
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
fifty-five
years
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother's
name
was
Hephzibah.
21:2 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
according
to
the
despicable
practices
of
the
nations
whom
the
LORD
drove
out
before
the
people
of
Israel.
21:3 For
he
rebuilt
the
high
places
that
Hezekiah
his
father
had
destroyed,
and
he
erected
altars
for
Baal
and
made
an
Asherah,
as
Ahab
king
of
Israel
had
done,
and
worshiped
all
the
host
of
heaven
and
served
them.
21:4 And
he
built
altars
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
of
which
the
LORD
had
said,
"In
Jerusalem
will
I
put
my
name."
21:5 And
he
built
altars
for
all
the
host
of
heaven
in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
the
LORD.
21:6 And
he
burned
his
son
as
an
offering
and
used
fortune-telling
and
omens
and
dealt
with
mediums
and
with
necromancers.
He
did
much
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
provoking
him
to
anger.
21:7 And
the
carved
image
of
Asherah
that
he
had
made
he
set
in
the
house
of
which
the
LORD
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.
21:8 And
I
will
not
cause
the
feet
of
Israel
to
wander
anymore
out
of
the
land
that
I
gave
to
their
fathers,
if
only
they
will
be
careful
to
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
them,
and
according
to
all
the
Law
that
my
servant
Moses
commanded
them."
21:9 But
they
did
not
listen,
and
Manasseh
led
them
astray
to
do
more
evil
than
the
nations
had
done
whom
the
LORD
destroyed
before
the
people
of
Israel.
21:10 And
the
LORD
said
by
his
servants
the
prophets,
21:11 "Because
Manasseh
king
of
Judah
has
committed
these
abominations
and
has
done
things
more
evil
than
all
that
the
Amorites
did,
who
were
before
him,
and
has
made
Judah
also
to
sin
with
his
idols,
21:12 therefore
thus
says
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
am
bringing
upon
Jerusalem
and
Judah
such
disaster
that
the
ears
of
everyone
who
hears
of
it
will
tingle.
21:13 And
I
will
stretch
over
Jerusalem
the
measuring
line
of
Samaria,
and
the
plumb
line
of
the
house
of
Ahab,
and
I
will
wipe
Jerusalem
as
one
wipes
a
dish,
wiping
it
and
turning
it
upside
down.
21:14 And
I
will
forsake
the
remnant
of
my
heritage
and
give
them
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
they
shall
become
a
prey
and
a
spoil
to
all
their
enemies,
21:15 because
they
have
done
what
is
evil
in
my
sight
and
have
provoked
me
to
anger,
since
the
day
their
fathers
came
out
of
Egypt,
even
to
this
day."
21:16 Moreover,
Manasseh
shed
very
much
innocent
blood,
till
he
had
filled
Jerusalem
from
one
end
to
another,
besides
the
sin
that
he
made
Judah
to
sin
so
that
they
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD.
21:17 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Manasseh
and
all
that
he
did,
and
the
sin
that
he
committed,
are
they
not
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Judah
21:18 And
Manasseh
slept
with
his
fathers
and
was
buried
in
the
garden
of
his
house,
in
the
garden
of
Uzza,
and
Amon
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
21:19 Amon
was
twenty-two
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
two
years
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother's
name
was
Meshullemeth
the
daughter
of
Haruz
of
Jotbah.
21:20 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
as
Manasseh
his
father
had
done.
21:21 He
walked
in
all
the
way
in
which
his
father
walked
and
served
the
idols
that
his
father
served
and
worshiped
them.
21:22 He
abandoned
the
LORD,
the
God
of
his
fathers,
and
did
not
walk
in
the
way
of
the
LORD.
21:23 And
the
servants
of
Amon
conspired
against
him
and
put
the
king
to
death
in
his
house.
21:24 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.
21:25 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amon
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Judah
21:26 And
he
was
buried
in
his
tomb
in
the
garden
of
Uzza,
and
Josiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
