Chapter 33 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became King and he reigned 55 years in Jerusalem But he did evil in the sight of the Lord According to the Abominations of the Nations whom the Lord had cast out Before the children of Israel For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down He raised up altars for the Bales and Made wooden images And he worshiped all the hosts of heaven And served them He also built altars in the house of the Lord of which the Lord had said in Jerusalem shall my name be forever And he built altars for all the hosts of Heaven in the two courts of the house of The Lord Also he caused his sons to pass through The fire in the Valley of the son of Hinom He practiced sooth saying used Witchcraft and sorcery and consulted Mediums and spiritists He did much evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger He even set a carved image the idol Which he had made in the house of God of Which God had 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 I will put my name forever And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have Appointed for your fathers only if they Are careful to do all that I have Commanded them according to the whole Law and the statutes and the ordinances By the hand of Moses So Manasseh seduced Judah and the Inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil Than the Nations whom the Lord had Destroyed before the children of Israel And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his People but they would not listen Therefore the Lord brought upon them the Captains of the army of the king of Assyria who took Manasseh with hooks Bound him with bronze Fetters and Carried him off to Babylon Now when he was in Affliction he Implored the Lord his God and humbled Himself greatly before the god of his Fathers and prayed to him And he received his entreaty heard his Supplication and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God After this he builds a wall outside the City of David on the west side of gaijon In the valley as far as the entrance of The fish gate And it enclosed ophel and he raised it To a very great height Then he put military captains in all the
Fortified cities of Judah He took away the foreign gods and the Idol from the house of the Lord and all The altars that he had built in the Mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem And he cast them out of the city He also repaired the altar of the Lord Sacrificed peace offerings and thank Offerings on it and commanded Judah to Serve the Lord God of Israel Nevertheless the people still sacrificed On the high places but only to the Lord Their God Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh his Prayer to his God and the words of the Seers who spoke to him in the name of The Lord God of Israel Indeed they are written in the book of The Kings of Israel Also his prayer and how God received his Entreaty and all his sin and trespass And the sights where he built high Places and set up wooden images and Carved images before he was humbled Indeed they are written among the Sayings of Jose So Manasseh rested with his fathers and They'd buried him in his own house Then his son Eamon reigned in his place Eamonn was 22 years old when he became King and he reigned two years in Jerusalem But he did evil in the sight of the Lord
As his father Manasseh had done For amen sacrificed to all the carved Images which his father manasa had made And served them And he did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had humbled Himself But Eamonn trespassed more and more Then his servants conspired against him And killed him in his own house But the people of the land executed all Those who had conspired against King Amon Then the people of the land made his son Josiah King in his place
