1 Manassehwas twelve years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor fifty-five years. 2 Jr 15.4Following the disgusting practices of the nations whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as his people advanced, Manasseh sinned against the Lord. 3 He rebuilt the pagan places of worship that his father Hezekiahhad destroyed. He built altars for the worship of Baal, made images of the goddess Asherah, and worshiped the stars. 4 2 Ch 6.6He built pagan altars in the Temple, the place that the Lordhad said was where he should be worshiped forever. 5 In the two courtyards of the Temple he built altars for the worship of the stars. 6 He sacrificed his sons in HinnomValley as burnt offerings. He practiced divination and magic and consulted fortunetellers and mediums. He sinned greatly against the Lordand stirred up his anger. 7 1 K 9.3-5;2 Ch 7.12-18He placed an image in the Temple, the place about which God had said to Davidand his son Solomon: "Here in Jerusalem, in this Temple, is the place that I have chosen out of all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel as the place where I am to be worshiped. 8 And if the people of Israel will obey all my commands and keep the whole Law that my servant Mosesgave them, then I will not allow them to be driven out of the land that I gave to their ancestors." 9 Manassehled the people of Judah to commit even greater sins than those committed by the nations whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as his people advanced.
Manasseh Repents
10 Although the Lordwarned Manassehand his people, they refused to listen. 11 So the Lordlet the commanders of the Assyrianarmy invade Judah. They captured Manasseh, stuck hooks in him, put him in chains, and took him to Babylon. 12 In his suffering he became humble, turned to the Lordhis God, and begged him for help. 13 God accepted Manasseh’s prayer and answered it by letting him go back to Jerusalemand rule again. This convinced Manassehthat the Lordwas God.
14 After this, Manasseh increased the height of the outer wall on the east side of David’s City, from a point in the valley near Gihon Springnorth to the Fish Gateand the area of the city called Ophel. He also stationed an army officer in command of a unit of troops in each of the fortified cities of Judah. 15 He removed from the Temple the foreign gods and the image that he had placed there, and the pagan altars that were on the hill where the Temple stood and in other places in Jerusalem; he took all these things outside the city and threw them away. 16 He also repaired the altar where the Lordwas worshiped, and he sacrificed fellowship offerings and thanksgiving offerings on it. He commanded all the people of Judah to worship the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 Although the people continued to offer sacrifices at other places of worship, they offered them only to the Lord.
18 Everything else that Manassehdid, the prayer he made to his God, and the messages of the prophets who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are all recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel. 19 The king’s prayer and God’s answer to it, and an account of the sins he committed before he repented—the evil he did, the pagan places of worship and the symbols of the goddess Asherah that he made and the idols that he worshiped—are all recorded in The History of the Prophets. 20 Manassehdied and was buried at the palace, and his son Amonsucceeded him as king.
21 Amonwas twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor two years. 22 Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped. 23 But unlike his father, he did not become humble and turn to the Lord; he was even more sinful than his father had been.
24 Amon’s officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace. 25 The people of Judah killed Amon’s assassins and made his son Josiahking.
