24;
24 Amon’s officials conspired
against him and assassinated him in his palace. (6)
369
25 Then
the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they
made Josiah his son king in his
place. (7)
147
16 Then
he restored the altar of the Lord
and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to
serve the Lord, the God of Israel. (7)
17 The people,
however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 The other events of
Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke
to him in the name of the Lord, the God of
Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.

22 He
did evil in the eyes of the Lord,
as his father Manasseh had done.
Amon worshiped and
offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made. (4)
23 But unlike his
father Manasseh, he did not humble himself before the Lord; Amon
increased his guilt.
258
13 And
when he prayed to him, the Lord
was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to
Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. (4)
14 Afterward he
rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon spring in the
valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encircling the hill of
Ophel; he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the
fortified cities in Judah.
15 He got rid of the foreign gods
and removed the image from the temple of the Lord,
as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and
he threw them out of the city.
369
4 He
built altars in the temple of the Lord,
of which the Lord had said, “My Name(Jesus)
will remain in Jerusalem Forever.” (4)
5 In both courts of
the temple of the Lord, he built altars to all the
starry hosts.
6 He sacrificed his children in
the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft,
sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the Eyes of the Lord,
arousing His Anger.
369
19 His
prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and
unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah
poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records
of the seers.

20 Manasseh rested
with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him
as king.
Amon King of Judah
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he
became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
138
10 The
Lord spoke to Manasseh
and his people, but they paid no attention. (1)
11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of
Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with
bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
12 In his distress he sought the
favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God
of his ancestors.

Manasseh King of
Judah
33 Manasseh was
twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem
fifty-five years. (1)
2 He did evil in the
eyes of the Lord, following the detestable
practices of the nations the Lord had driven out
before the Israelites.
3 He rebuilt the high places his father
Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah
poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. (the Law 2 "You shall not
make for yourself an idols" & the
Law 8 "You shal not commit adultery")
