2 Chronicles 33:1 ¶ Manasseh4519 was twelve8147 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 fifty -2572 five2568 years8141 in Jerusalem.33892 He did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of Yahweh,3068 after the abominations8441 of the nations1471 whom Yahweh3068 cast out3423 before6440 the children1121 of Israel.34783 For he built1129 again7725 the high places1116 which Hezekiah3169 his father1 had broken down;5422 and he reared up6965 altars4196 for the Baals,1168 and made6213 Asheroth,842 and worshiped7812 all the army6635 of the sky,8064 and served5647 them.
4 He built1129 altars4196 in the house1004 of Yahweh,3068 of which Yahweh3068 said,559 "My name8034 shall be in Jerusalem3389 forever."57695 He built1129 altars4196 for all the army6635 of the sky8064 in the two8147 courts2691 of the house1004 of Yahweh.30686 He also made5674 his children1121 to pass through5674 the fire784 in the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom;2011 and he practiced sorcery,6049 and used enchantments,5172 and practiced sorcery,3784 and dealt6213 with those who had familiar spirits,178 and with wizards:3049 he worked6213 much7235 evil7451 in the sight5869 of Yahweh,3068 to provoke him to anger.37077 He set7760 the engraved image6459 of the idol,5566 which he had made,6213 in the house1004 of God,430 of which God430 said559 to David1732 and to Solomon8010 his son,1121 "In this house,1004 and in Jerusalem,3389 which I have chosen977 out of all the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 will I put7760 my name8034 forever:58658 neither will I any more3254 remove5493 the foot7272 of Israel3478 from off the land127 which I have appointed5975 for your fathers,1 if518 only they will observe8104 to do6213 all that518 I have commanded6680 them, even all the law8451 and the statutes2706 and the ordinances4941 given by3027 Moses."48729 Manasseh4519 seduced8582 Judah3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 so that they did6213 more7451 evil8582 than the nations1471 whom Yahweh3068 destroyed8045 before6440 the children1121 of Israel3478 did.
10 Yahweh3068 spoke1696 to Manasseh,4519 and to his people;5971 but they gave no heed.718111 Therefore Yahweh3068 brought935 on them the captains of8269 the army of8269 the king4428 of Assyria,804 who took3920 Manasseh4519 in chains, and bound him631 with fetters,5178 and carried3212 him631 to Babylon.89412 When he was in distress,6887 he begged2470 Yahweh3068 his God,430 and humbled3665 himself greatly3966 before6440 the God430 of his fathers.113 He prayed6419 to him; and he was entreated6279 by him, and heard8085 his supplication,8467 and brought him again7725 to Jerusalem3389 into his kingdom.4438 Then Manasseh4519 knew3045 that Yahweh3068 was God.43014 Now after this310 he built1129 an outer wall2346 to the city5892 of David,1732 on the west side4628 of Gihon,1521 in935 the valley,5158 even to the entrance935 at the fish1709 gate;8179 and he encircled5437 Ophel6077 with it, and raised it up1361 to a very great height:3966 and he put7760 valiant2428 captains8269 in all the fortified1219 cities5892 of Judah.306315 He took away5493 the foreign5236 gods,430 and the idol5566 out of the house1004 of Yahweh,3068 and all the altars4196 that he had built1129 in the mountain2022 of the house1004 of Yahweh,3068 and in Jerusalem,3389 and cast7993 them out2351 of the city.589216 He built1129 up the altar4196 of Yahweh,3068 and offered2076 thereon sacrifices of peace8002 offerings2077 and of thanksgiving,8426 and commanded559 Judah3063 to serve5647 Yahweh,3068 the God430 of Israel.347817 Nevertheless61 the people5971 sacrificed2076 still in the high places,1116 but only to Yahweh3068 their God.43018 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Manasseh,4519 and his prayer8605 to his God,430 and the words1697 of the seers2374 who spoke1696 to him in the name8034 of Yahweh,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 behold, they are written among the acts1697 of the kings4428 of Israel.347819 His prayer8605 also, and how God was entreated6279 of him, and all his sin2403 and his trespass,4604 and the places4725 in which he built1129 high places,1116 and set up5975 the Asherim842 and the engraved images,6456 before6440 he humbled3665 himself: behold, they are written3789 in the history1697 of Hozai.237420 So Manasseh4519 slept7901 with his fathers,1 and they buried6912 him in his own house:1004 and Amon526 his son1121 reigned4427 in his place.
