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.

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.
But I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389, that my nameH8034 might be there; and have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
For now have I chosenH977 and sanctifiedH6942 this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 everH5769: and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
And they brake downH5422 the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665, and made dustH1854 of them, and strowedH2236 it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And they spakeH1696 againstH5921 the GodH430 of JerusalemH3389, as against the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, which were the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of manH120.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.
Then there shall be a placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 to cause his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there; thither shall ye bringH935 all that I commandH6680 you; your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heave offeringH8641 of your handH3027, and all your choiceH4005 vowsH5088 which ye vowH5087 unto the LORDH3068: {your choice…: Heb. the choice of your vows}
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even toward the placeH4725 of which thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearkenH8085 unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725. {toward this place: or, in this place}
For the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have doneH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: they have setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to polluteH2930 it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH2603 beforeH6440 me: I have hallowedH6942 this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there forH5704 everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
