1 M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother’s name [was] Heftzibah [my delight is in her].

2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) cast out before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

3 For he built up again the high places which Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and made a Ashera (consort of Ba’al), as did Ach’av [father’s brother] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and worshipped all the army of heaven, and served them.

4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), of which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, In Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] will I put my name.

5 And he built altars for all the army of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

6 And he made his son pass through the fire (as a sacrifice), and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards (he practiced soothsaying and divination and appointed mediums and persons who used spirit guides): he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to provoke [him] to anger.

7 And he set a graven image of the Asherah (consort of Ba’al) that he had made in the house, of which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said to David [beloved], and to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son, In this house, and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which I have chosen out of all tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], will I put my name forever:

8 Neither will I make the feet of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] commanded them.

9 But they listened not: and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) destroyed before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

10 And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 Because M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] has done these abominations, [and] has done wickedly above all that the Emori [Highlanders] did, which [were] before him, and has made Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] also to sin with his idols:

12 Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Behold, I [am] bringing [such] evil upon Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], that whosoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

13 And I will stretch over Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] the line of Shomron [watch mountain], and the plummet of the house of Ach’av [father’s brother]: and I will wipe Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] as [a man] wipes a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside down.

14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil (plunder; prey; booty) to all their enemies;

15 Because they have done [that which was] evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], even unto this day.

16 Moreover M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] shed so much innocent blood, that he had filled Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from one end to another; beside his sin which he made Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to sin, in doing [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

17 Now the rest of the acts of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]?

18 And M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of ‘Uza [strength]: and ‘Amon [master workman] his son reigned in his stead.

19 ‘Amon [master workman] [was] twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother’s name [was] Meshulemet [friend], the daughter of Harutz [zealous] of Yotvah [pleasing].

20 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as his father M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] did.

21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

22 And he forsook the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

23 And the servants of ‘Amon [master workman] conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.

24 And the people of the land killed all them that had conspired against king ‘Amon [master workman]; and the people of the land made Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] his son king in his stead.

25 Now the rest of the acts of ‘Amon [master workman] which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]?

26 And he was buried in his sepulcher in the garden of ‘Uza [strength]: and Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] his son reigned in his stead.
