2 Chronicles 33:11-19

11 ^aTherefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, ^bbound him with bronze chains, and led him to Babylon. 12 When ^che was in distress, he appeased the Lord his God and ^dhumbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 When he prayed to Him, ^eHe was moved by him and heard his pleading, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh ^fknew that the Lord alone is God.

14 Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of ^gGihon, in the valley, up to the entrance of the ^hFish Gate; and he encircled the ⁱOphel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 He also ^jremoved the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, as well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city. 16 He set up the altar of the Lord and sacrificed ^kpeace offerings and thanksgiving offerings on it; and he ordered Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel. 17 However, ^lthe people still sacrificed on the high places, although only to the Lord their God.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and ^mhis prayer to his God, and the words of ⁿthe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings of ^oIsrael. 19 His prayer also and ^phow God was moved by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and ^qthe sites on which he built high places and erected the ^{▼▼I.e., wooden symbols of a female deity (Asherah)}Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the records of ^{▼▼LXX seers}Hozai.
