Manasseh was twelve years old when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned five
and
fifty
years
in Jerusalem :
and
his mother's
name was Hephzibah.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five
years.
His mother’s
name was Hephzibah.
And he did that
which
was
evil in the sight of Jehovah,
after
the abominations of the nations whom
Jehovah
cast
out before the children
of
Israel
.
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
.
For he built
again
the high places which
Hezekiah
his father had destroyed ;
and he reared
up altars for Baal ,
and
made an Asherah, as did
Ahab
king of Israel, and worshipped
all the host of heaven ,
and
served
them
.
For he rebuilt
the high places that
his father Hezekiah
had destroyed ,
and he raised
up altars for Baal .
He
made an Asherah pole
, as King Ahab
of Israel had
done
, and he
worshiped
and
served
all the host of heaven.
And
he
built altars in the house of Jehovah
, whereof
Jehovah
said, In Jerusalem will
I put my name.
Manasseh
also
built altars in the house of the
LORD
, of
which
the
LORD
had
said, “
In Jerusalem I will
put My Name. ”
And
he built altars for
all the host of heaven in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
.
In
both
courtyards
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
he built altars to
all the host of heaven.
And
he made
his son to
pass
through
the fire, and
practised
augury,
and used
enchantments
, and dealt
with
them
that
had
familiar
spirits,
and with
wizards:
he wrought
much
evil in the sight of Jehovah
, to
provoke
him to anger.
He sacrificed
his own
son in
the fire, practiced
sorcery
and divination
, and consulted
mediums
and spiritists.
He did
great
evil in the sight of the
LORD
, provoking
Him to anger.
And
he
set
the graven
image
of
Asherah ,
that
he had made ,
in the house
of which Jehovah
said to David and to
Solomon
his son, In this house,
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will
I put
my name for
ever;
Manasseh
even
took
the carved
Asherah pole
he had made and
set
it
up
in the temple,
of which the
LORD
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.
neither
will
I cause the feet of Israel
to wander any
more
out
of
the land which
I gave their fathers, if only they will
observe
to do according
to
all that
I have commanded them ,
and
according
to
all
the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
I will
never
again
cause the feet of the
Israelites
to wander from
the land that
I gave to
their fathers, if only they are
careful
to do all I have commanded them —
the whole
Law that My servant Moses commanded them. ”
But they
hearkened
not :
and Manasseh seduced
them to
do
that which
is
evil more
than did
the nations whom
Jehovah
destroyed before the children
of
Israel
.
But the
people
did
not listen
and Manasseh led
them astray,
so
that they
did
greater
evil than the nations that
the
LORD
had
destroyed before the Israelites
.
And Jehovah
spake
by
his servants the prophets, saying,
And the
LORD
spoke
through
His servants the prophets, saying,
Because
Manasseh king of Judah hath
done
these abominations, and
hath
done
wickedly above
all
that
the Amorites did,
that
were
before
him, and hath
made
Judah
also
to
sin
with his idols ;
“Since
Manasseh king of Judah has
committed
all
these abominations, acting
more
wickedly than
the Amorites who
preceded
him, and with his idols has
caused
Judah
to
sin,
therefore
thus
saith
Jehovah
, the God of Israel, Behold, I bring
such evil
upon Jerusalem and Judah ,
that whosoever
heareth
of it ,
both
his
ears
shall
tingle
.
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel, says:
‘
Behold, I am
bringing
such calamity
upon Jerusalem and Judah that the
news
will
reverberate
in
the
ears
of all
who
hear
it.
And
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of
Samaria ,
and the plummet
of
the house of Ahab ;
and I will wipe Jerusalem as a
man
wipeth
a dish,
wiping it and turning it upside down.
I will stretch out
over Jerusalem the measuring
line used
against
Samaria and the plumb
line
used
against
the house of Ahab ,
and I will wipe out
Jerusalem as one
wipes
out
a bowl—
wiping it and turning it upside down.
And
I will cast
off
the remnant of mine
inheritance ,
and deliver them into the hand
of their enemies ;
and they shall
become a
prey
and a
spoil to all their enemies ;
So
I will forsake
the remnant of My
inheritance and deliver them into the hands
of their enemies .
And they will
become plunder
and spoil to all their enemies ,
because they have done that
which
is
evil in my sight ,
and have provoked me to anger ,
since
the day their fathers came forth
out of Egypt ,
even
unto
this day.
because they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger from
the day their fathers came out of Egypt until
this day. ’”
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very
much,
till
he had
filled Jerusalem from one
end to another;
besides
his
sin wherewith
he made
Judah to sin
, in
doing that
which
was
evil in the sight of Jehovah
.
Moreover ,
Manasseh shed so
much
innocent blood that
he filled Jerusalem from end to end,
in
addition
to
the
sin that
he had
caused
Judah to commit
, doing evil in the sight of the
LORD
.
Now
the rest of the acts of Manasseh, 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 Judah?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along
with
all his accomplishments
and
the
sin that he committed
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And Manasseh slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried in the
garden
of
his own
house
, in
the garden of Uzza :
and Amon
his son reigned in his stead
.
And Manasseh rested
with his fathers and was buried in his palace
garden
, the garden of Uzza .
And his son Amon
reigned in his place
.
Amon was twenty and
two years old when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned two
years
in Jerusalem :
and
his mother's
name was Meshullemeth the
daughter of Haruz of
Jotbah.
Amon was twenty -
two years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem two
years.
His mother’s
name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz ;
she
was
from
Jotbah.
And he did that
which
was
evil in the sight of Jehovah
, as did
Manasseh
his father.
And he did evil in the sight of the
LORD
, as his father Manasseh
had
done
.
And
he walked in all the way
that
his father walked
in
, and served the idols that
his father served ,
and
worshipped
them:
He walked in all the ways
of
his father, and he
served and
worshiped
the idols his father had
served .
and
he forsook
Jehovah
, the God of his fathers, and walked
not in the way of Jehovah
.
He abandoned
the
LORD
, the God of his fathers, and did
not walk
in the way of the
LORD
.
And
the servants of Amon conspired against him ,
and put
the king to
death
in his own
house
.
Then
the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed
the king in his palace
.
But the people of the land slew
all them
that
had conspired against king Amon ;
and the
people
of
the
land
made Josiah
his son king in his stead
.
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
.
Now
the rest of the acts of Amon which
he
did
, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Amon, along
with
his
accomplishments,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And he was buried in his sepulchre
in the garden of Uzza :
and Josiah
his son reigned in his stead
.
And he was buried in his tomb
in the garden of Uzza ,
and his son Josiah
reigned in his place
.
