1 Manassehwas twelve years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor fifty-five years. His mother was Hephzibah. 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 and made an image of the goddess Asherah, as King Ahabof Israel had done. Manasseh also worshiped the stars. 4 2 S 7.13He built pagan altars in the Temple, the place that the Lordhad said was where he should be worshiped. 5 In the two courtyards of the Temple he built altars for the worship of the stars. 6 He sacrificed his son as a burnt offering. He practiced divination and magic and consulted21.6: consulted; or brought back.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 the symbol of the goddess Asherah in the Temple, the place about which the Lordhad 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 But the people of Judah did not obey the Lord, and Manassehled them to commit even greater sins than those committed by the nations whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as his people advanced.
10 Through his servants the prophets the Lordsaid, 11 "King Manassehhas done these disgusting things, things far worse than what the Canaanites did; and with his idols he has led the people of Judah into sin. 12 So I, the LordGod of Israel, will bring such a disaster on Jerusalemand Judah that everyone who hears about it will be stunned. 13 I will punish Jerusalemas I did Samaria, as I did King Ahabof Israel and his descendants. I will wipe Jerusalemclean of its people, as clean as a plate that has been wiped and turned upside down. 14 I will abandon the people who survive, and will hand them over to their enemies, who will conquer them and plunder their land. 15 I will do this to my people because they have sinned against me and have stirred up my anger from the time their ancestors came out of Egyptto this day."
16 Manassehkilled so many innocent people that the streets of Jerusalemwere flowing with blood; he did this in addition to leading the people of Judah into idolatry, causing them to sin against the Lord.
17 Everything else that Manassehdid, including the sins he committed, is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah. 18 Manassehdied and was buried in the palace garden, the garden of Uzza, and his son Amonsucceeded him as king.
19 Amonwas twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruzfrom the town of Jotbah. 20 Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord; 21 he imitated his father’s actions, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped. 22 He rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and disobeyed the Lord's commands.
23 Amon’s officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace. 24 The people of Judah killed Amon’s assassins and made his son Josiahking.
25 Everything else that Amondid is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah. 26 Amon was buried in the tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiahsucceeded him as king.
