ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389:
But didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, like unto the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For he builtH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH3169 his fatherH1 had broken downH5422, and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalimH1168, and madeH6213 grovesH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. {he built…: Heb. he returned and built}
Also he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 shall my nameH8034 be for everH5769.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he causedH5674 his childrenH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011: also he observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and used witchcraftH3784, and dealtH6213 with a familiar spiritH178, and with wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a carved imageH6459, the idolH5566 which he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of which GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 before all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5865:
Neither will I any moreH3254 removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 from outH5921 of the landH127 which I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1; so thatH518 they will take heedH8104 to doH6213 all that I have commandedH6680 them, according to the whole lawH8451 and the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
So ManassehH4519 madeH8582 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to errH8582, and to doH6213 worseH7451 than the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to ManassehH4519, and to his peopleH5971: but they would not hearkenH7181.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them the captains ofH8269 the host ofH6635 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, which tookH3920 ManassehH4519 among the thornsH2336, and bound himH631 with fettersH5178, and carriedH3212 him to BabylonH894. {of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
Now after thisH310 he builtH1129 a wallH2346 withoutH2435 the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, on the west sideH4628 of GihonH1521, in the valleyH5158, even to the entering inH935 at the fishH1709 gateH8179, and compassedH5437 about OphelH6077, and raised it upH1361 a very great heightH3966, and putH7760 captainsH8269 of warH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. {Ophel: or, the tower}
And he took awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430, and the idolH5566 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the altarsH4196 that he had builtH1129 in the mountH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in JerusalemH3389, and castH7993 them outH2351 of the cityH5892.
And he repairedH1129 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 thereon peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 and thank offeringsH8426, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
NeverthelessH61 the peopleH5971 did sacrificeH2076 still in the high placesH1116, yet unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430 only.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and his prayerH8605 unto his GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of the seersH2374 that spakeH1696 to him in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, behold, they are written in the bookH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}
So ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in his own houseH1004: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AmonH526 was twoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
But he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as didH6213 ManassehH4519 his fatherH1: for AmonH526 sacrificedH2076 unto all the carved imagesH6456 which ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had madeH6213, and servedH5647 them;
And humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had humbledH3665 himself; but AmonH526 trespassedH819 more and moreH7235. {trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}
And his servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 against him, and slewH4191 him in his own houseH1004.
But the peopleH5971 of the landH776 slewH5221 all them that had conspiredH7194 against kingH4428 AmonH526; and the peopleH5971 of the landH776 madeH4427 JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead.

Moreover he burnt incenseH6999 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and burntH1197 his childrenH1121 in the fireH784, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {burnt…: or, offered sacrifice}
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
DefileH2930 not ye yourselves in any of these thingsH428: for in all these the nationsH1471 are defiledH2930 which I cast outH7971 beforeH6440 you:
And the landH776 is defiledH2930: therefore I do visitH6485 the iniquityH5771 thereof upon it, and the landH776 itself vomiteth outH6958 her inhabitantsH3427.
Ye shall therefore keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, and shall not commitH6213 any of these abominationsH8441; neither any of your own nationH249, nor any strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you:
(For all theseH411 abominationsH8441 have the menH582 of the landH776 doneH6213, which were beforeH6440 you, and the landH776 is defiledH2930;)
That the landH776 spue not you outH6958 also, when ye defileH2930 it, as it spued outH6958 the nationsH1471 that were beforeH6440 you.
For whosoever shall commitH6213 any of these abominationsH8441, even the soulsH5315 that commitH6213 them shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 their peopleH5971.
Therefore shall ye keepH8104 mine ordinanceH4931, that ye commitH6213 not any one of these abominableH8441 customsH2708, which were committedH6213 beforeH6440 you, and that ye defileH2930 not yourselves therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Ye shall therefore keepH8104 all my statutesH2708, and all my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them: that the landH776, whither I bringH935 you to dwellH3427 therein, spue you not outH6958.
And ye shall not walkH3212 in the mannersH2708 of the nationH1471, which I cast outH7971 beforeH6440 you: for they committedH6213 all these things, and therefore I abhorredH6973 them.
Thou shalt not doH6213 so unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for every abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068, which he hatethH8130, have they doneH6213 unto their godsH430; for even their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 they have burntH8313 in the fireH784 to their godsH430. {to the: Heb. of the}
When thou art comeH935 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not learnH3925 to doH6213 after the abominationsH8441 of those nationsH1471.
For these nationsH1471, which thou shalt possessH3423, hearkenedH8085 unto observers of timesH6049, and unto divinersH7080: but as for thee, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath not sufferedH5414 thee so to do. {possess: or, inherit}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
But they hearkenedH8085 not: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 more evilH7451 than did the nationsH1471 whom the LORDH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Should we againH7725 breakH6565 thy commandmentsH4687, and join in affinityH2859 with the peopleH5971 of these abominationsH8441? wouldest not thou be angryH599 with us till thou hadst consumedH3615 us, so that there should be no remnantH7611 nor escapingH6413?
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
