1 Manassehwas 12 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah. 2 Jr 15.4.Manasseh disobeyed the Lordby following the disgusting customs of the nations that the Lordhad forced out of Israel. 3 He rebuilt the local shrines that his father Hezekiahhad torn down. He built altars for the god Baal and set up a sacred pole for worshiping the goddess Asherah, just as King Ahabof Israel had done. And he faithfully worshiped the stars in heaven.
4 2 S 7.13.In the temple, where only the Lordwas supposed to be worshiped, Manasseh built altars for the worship of pagan gods 5 and the stars. He placed these altars in both courts of the temple, 6,7 1 K 9.3-5;2 Ch 7.12-18.and even set up the pole for Asherah there. Manasseh practiced magic and witchcraft; he asked fortunetellers for advice and sacrificed his own son. He did many sinful things and made the Lordvery angry.
Years ago the Lordhad told Davidand his son Solomon:
Jerusalemis the place I prefer above all others in Israel. It belongs to me, and there I will be worshiped forever. 8 If my people will faithfully obey all the commands in the Law of my servant Moses, I will never make them leave the land I gave to their ancestors.
9 But the people of Judah disobeyed the Lord. They listened to Manassehand did even more sinful things than the nations the Lordhad wiped out.
10 One day the Lordsaid to some of his prophets:
11 King Manassehhas done more disgusting things than the Amorites,21.11 Amorites: Here used in the general sense of nations that lived in Canaan before the Israelites.and he has led my people to sin by forcing them to worship his idols. 12 Now I, the LordGod of Israel, will destroy both Jerusalemand Judah! People will hear about it but won’t believe it. 13 Jerusalemis as sinful as Ahaband the people of Samariawere. So I will wipe out Jerusalemand be done with it, just as someone wipes water off a plate and turns it over to dry.
14 I will even get rid of my people who survive. They will be defeated and robbed by their enemies. 15 My people have done what I hate and have not stopped making me angry since their ancestors left Egypt.
16 Manassehwas guilty of causing the people of Judah to sin and disobey the Lord. He also refused to protect innocent people—he even let so many of them be killed21.16 He also refused … killed: Or "He killed so many innocent people."that their blood filled the streets of Jerusalem.
17 Everything else Manassehdid while he was king, including his terrible sins, is written in The History of the Kings of Judah. 18 He died and was buried in UzzaGarden near his palace, and his son Amonbecame king.
19 Amonwas 22 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled from Jerusalemfor 2 years. His mother Meshullemethwas the daughter of Haruzfrom Jotbah. 20 Amon disobeyed the Lord, just as his father Manassehhad done. 21 Amon worshiped the idols Manasseh had made and 22 refused to be faithful to the Lord, the God his ancestors had worshiped.
23 Some of Amon’s officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace. 24-26 He was buried in UzzaGarden. Soon after that, the people of Judah killed the murderers of Amon, then they made his son Josiahking.
Everything else Amondid while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.
