Manasseh Reigns in Judah

1 dManasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to ethe abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 3For he rebuilt the high places fthat his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made gAsheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, h“In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.” 5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in ithe two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 jAnd he burned his sons as an offering kin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and lused fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mmediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 7And nthe carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God 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, oI will put my name forever, 8and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land pthat I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses.” 9Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.

Manasseh’s Repentance

10The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. 11 qTherefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and rbound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. 12And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God sand humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13He prayed to him, and tGod was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. uThen Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

14Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of vGihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into wthe Fish Gate, and carried it around xOphel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15And yhe took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city. 16He also restored the altar of the Lord and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 zNevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and aahis prayer to his God, and the words of abthe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the acChronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19And his prayer, and how adGod was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites aeon which he built high places and set up the afAsherim and the images, before aghe humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.
