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 did that
which
was
evil in the sight of the LORD ,
after
the abominations of the heathen,
whom
the LORD cast
out before the children
of
Israel
.
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.
For he built
up
again
the high places which
Hezekiah
his father had destroyed ;
and he reared
up altars for Baal ,
and
made a
grove
, as did
Ahab king
of Israel ;
and worshipped
all the host of heaven ,
and
served
them
.
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 in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I
put my name.
In
both
courtyards
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
he built altars to
all the host of heaven.
And
he built altars for
all the host of heaven in
the
two
courts
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
.
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 made
his son pass
through
the fire, and observed
times
, and used
enchantments,
and dealt
with
familiar
spirits
and
wizards:
he wrought
much
wickedness
in the sight of the LORD, to
provoke
him to anger.
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.
And
he
set
a
graven
image
of
the grove
that
he had made in the house
, of which the LORD said to David ,
and to
Solomon
his son, In this house,
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I
put
my name for
ever:
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. ”
Neither
will I
make
the feet of Israel
move
any
more
out
of
the land which
I gave their fathers ;
only if
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.
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
.
But they
hearkened
not :
and Manasseh seduced
them to
do
more
evil than did
the nations whom
the LORD destroyed before the children
of
Israel
.
And the LORD spoke
through
His servants the prophets, saying,
And the LORD spake
by
his servants the prophets, saying,
“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 ,
Because
Manasseh king of Judah hath
done
these abominations, and
hath
done
wickedly above
all
that
the Amorites did,
which
were
before
him, and hath
made
Judah also
to sin with
his
idols:
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.
Therefore
thus
saith
the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil
upon Jerusalem and Judah ,
that whosoever
heareth
of it ,
both
his
ears
shall
tingle
.
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 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.
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 ,
And
I will forsake 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 ;
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. ’”
Because they have done that
which
was
evil in my sight ,
and have provoked me to anger ,
since
the day their fathers came forth
out of Egypt ,
even
unto
this day.
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.
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very
much,
till
he had
filled Jerusalem from one
end to another;
beside
his
sin wherewith
he made
Judah to sin
, in
doing that
which
was
evil in the sight of the LORD.
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?
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?
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had
done
.
And he did that
which
was
evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did
.
He walked in all the ways
of
his father, and he
served and
worshiped
the idols his father had
served .
And
he walked in all the way
that
his father walked
in
, and served the idols that
his father served ,
and
worshipped
them:
He abandoned
the LORD ,
the
God of his fathers, and did
not walk
in the way of the LORD.
And
he forsook
the LORD God of his fathers, and walked
not in the way of the LORD.
Then
the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed
the king in his palace
.
And
the servants of Amon conspired against him ,
and slew
the king 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 slew
all them
that
had conspired against king Amon ;
and the
people
of
the
land
made Josiah
his son king in his stead
.
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?
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?
And he was buried in his tomb
in the garden of Uzza ,
and his son Josiah
reigned in his place
.
And he was buried in his sepulchre
in the garden of Uzza :
and Josiah
his son reigned in his stead
.
