Young's Literal Translation
Manasseh
was
twelve years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five
years.
A
son
of
twelve years is
Manasseh
in
his
reigning
, and fifty
and
five
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ;
And he did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
by
following
the abominations of the nations that the LORD
had
driven
out
before
the Israelites.
and he doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
like
the abominations of the nations that Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of
Israel,
For
he rebuilt
the high places that his father Hezekiah
had
torn
down, and he
raised
up
altars for the
Baals
and
made
Asherah
poles.
And he
worshiped
and served
all the host of heaven
.
and
he turneth
and
buildeth
the high places that Hezekiah
his father hath
broken
down, and raiseth
altars for Baalim,
and maketh
shrines,
and boweth
himself
to
all the host of the
heavens,
and
serveth
them
.
Manasseh
also
built altars in the house of the
LORD,
of which the
LORD
had said, “My
Name
will
remain
in Jerusalem forever
. ”
And
he
hath
built altars in the house of Jehovah
of which Jehovah
had said, `
In Jerusalem is
My
name
to
the
age
. '
In
both
courtyards
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
he built
altars to all the host of heaven
.
And
he buildeth
altars to all the host of the
heavens
in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
.
He sacrificed
his sons in
the
fire in the Valley of Hinnom .
He
practiced
sorcery
, divination,
and witchcraft, and consulted
mediums
and spiritists.
He did
great
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, provoking
Him to anger.
And
he hath
caused
his sons to
pass
over
through
fire in the valley of the
son
of
Hinnom, and observed
clouds
and
used
enchantments
and
witchcraft, and dealt
with
a
familiar
spirit,
and a
wizard;
he hath
multiplied
to
do
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, to
provoke
him to anger.
Manasseh
even
took
the carved
image he had
made and
set
it
up
in the house of God, of which God had
said to
David and his son Solomon
, “
In this temple
and in Jerusalem ,
which
I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will
establish
My Name forever.
And
he
placeth
the graven
image of
the
idol
that
he made in the house of God, of which God said unto
David ,
and unto
Solomon
his son, `
In this house,
and in Jerusalem that
I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put
My name to
the
age,
I will
never
again
cause
the feet
of the
Israelites
to
leave
the land
that I assigned
to your fathers, if
only they are
careful
to do all that I have commanded them through
Moses—
all the laws
, statutes, and judgments
. ”
and
I add
not
to
turn
aside
the foot
of Israel
from
off
the ground
that I appointed
to your fathers, only ,
if
they watch
to do all that I have commanded them --
to
all the law
, and
the
statutes, and the
ordinances
by
the
hand
of
Moses
. '
So
Manasseh led
the
people
of
Judah and Jerusalem astray
, so
that
they
did
greater
evil than
the nations that the
LORD
had
destroyed before
the Israelites
.
And
Manasseh maketh
Judah and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem to
err
, to
do
evil above
the nations that Jehovah
destroyed from
the presence
of
the
sons
of
Israel
.
And the
LORD
spoke
to
Manasseh and his people, but
they did
not listen.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Manasseh and unto
his people, and
they have
not attended,
So
the
LORD
brought
against them the military
commanders
of the king of Assyria
, who
captured
Manasseh ,
put
a
hook
in
his
nose
, bound
him with bronze
shackles
, and took
him to Babylon.
and
Jehovah
bringeth
in
against them the heads
of the host
that
the
king of Asshur
hath
, and
they
capture
Manasseh among
the
thickets
, and
bind
him with brazen
fetters
, and cause
him to go
to
Babylon.
And in his
distress ,
Manasseh
sought
the favor
of the
LORD
his God and earnestly
humbled himself
before the God of his fathers .
And when
he
is
in distress he
hath
appeased
the face
of Jehovah
his God ,
and is
humbled exceedingly
before the God of his fathers ,
And when
he prayed
to
Him, the
LORD
received
his
plea
and heard
his petition;
so
He
brought
him back to Jerusalem and
to his kingdom .
Then
Manasseh knew
that the
LORD
is God.
and prayeth
unto
Him,
and
He is
entreated
of
him, and heareth
his supplication,
and
bringeth
him back to Jerusalem ,
to his kingdom ,
and
Manasseh knoweth
that Jehovah
--
He
`
is '
God.
After this ,
Manasseh
rebuilt
the
outer wall of
the City of David from
west of Gihon in the valley to
the entrance
of
the Fish Gate, and he
brought
it around
the hill
of
Ophel
and heightened
it considerably.
He also
stationed
military
commanders
in all the fortified
cities of Judah.
And
after this he
hath
built
an
outer wall to
the city of David ,
on
the
west of Gihon ,
in the valley ,
and
at
the entering
in
at
the fish -
gate, and it hath
gone
round
to
the tower,
and he
maketh
it exceeding
high,
and
he putteth
heads
of
the
force
in all the cities of the
bulwarks
in
Judah.
He removed
the foreign
gods and the idol from
the house of the
LORD
, along
with
all the altars he had built on
the temple
mount and in Jerusalem, and he
dumped
them outside the city.
And
he turneth
aside
the gods of
the
stranger,
and the idol ,
out
of
the house of Jehovah
, and
all the altars that
he had built in
the mount of
the
house
of
Jehovah
and in Jerusalem, and casteth
`
them '
to
the
outside of
the city.
Then
he restored
the altar of the
LORD
and sacrificed
peace offerings and thank offerings
on
it
, and he
told
Judah to serve the
LORD
, the
God of Israel .
And
he buildeth
the altar of Jehovah,
and sacrificeth
upon
it
sacrifices
of
peace -
offerings and thank -offering
, and saith
to
Judah to serve Jehovah
, God of Israel ;
Nevertheless,
the
people
still sacrificed
at
the high places, but
only to the
LORD
their God.
but
still the people
are
sacrificing
in
high places, only --
to Jehovah
their God.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Manasseh, along
with
his prayer to
his God and the words
of the seers who
spoke
to
him in the name of the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, they are indeed
written
in
the Chronicles
of the Kings of Israel .
And
the rest of the matters
of Manasseh, and
his prayer unto
his God ,
and the matters
of the seers ,
those
speaking
unto
him in the name of Jehovah
, God of Israel, lo,
they are `on
the book
of '
the matters
of
the
kings of Israel ;
His prayer and how
God
received
his plea
, as
well
as
all his sin and unfaithfulness
, and the sites
where
he built high places and set
up
Asherah
poles
and idols
before he
humbled himself
, they are indeed
written in
the Records
of the
Seers
.
and
his prayer ,
and his entreaty
, and
all his sin ,
and his
trespass
, and the places
in
which
he had
built high places ,
and established
the
shrines
and the
graven
images
before his
being
humbled, lo,
they are written beside
the matters
of Hozai
.
And Manasseh rested
with his fathers and was
buried
at
his palace.
And his son Amon
reigned
in his place
.
And Manasseh lieth
with his fathers ,
and they
bury
him
in
his own
house,
and reign
doth
Amon
his son in his stead
.
Amon
was
twenty -
two years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem two
years.
A
son
of
twenty and
two years `is'
Amon
in
his
reigning
, and two
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
And he did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, as his father Manasseh
had
done.
Amon
served
and sacrificed
to all the idols
that his father Manasseh
had made,
and he doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, as did
Manasseh
his father ,
and to all the graven
images
that Manasseh
his father had made hath
Amon
sacrificed
, and
serveth
them,
but
he
did
not humble
himself
before the LORD
as
his father Manasseh
had
done;
instead
, Amon increased
his
guilt.
and
hath
not been
humbled
before Jehovah,
like
the humbling
of
Manasseh
his father, for
Amon himself
hath
multiplied
guilt.
Then
the
servants of
Amon
conspired
against him and killed
him in his palace.
And
his
servants conspire
against him ,
and put
him to
death
in his own
house,
But
the people of the land killed
all those who
had
conspired
against King Amon, and they
made
his son Josiah
king
in his place
.
and
the people of the land smite
all those conspiring
against king Amon, and the
people
of
the
land
cause
Josiah
his son to
reign
in his stead
.
