1	Manasseh was twelve# years old when he began to reign# , and reigned# fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
			2	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.
			3	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.
			4	And he built# altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said# , In Jerusalem will I put# my name.
			5	And he built# altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
			6	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# .
			7	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:
			8	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.
			9	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.
			10	And the LORD spake# by his servants the prophets, saying# ,
			11	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:
			12	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# .
			13	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. [wiping...: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof]
			14	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# ;
			15	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.
			16	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. [from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth]
			17	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?
			18	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.
			19	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.
			20	And he did# that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did# .
			21	And he walked# in all the way that his father walked in# , and served# the idols that his father served# , and worshipped# them:
			22	And he forsook# the LORD God of his fathers, and walked# not in the way of the LORD.
			23	And the servants of Amon conspired# against him, and slew# the king in his own house.
			24	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.
			25	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?
			26	And he was buried# in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned# in his stead. [Josiah: Gr. Josias]
