2 Dabray HaYamiym 33

Manashah was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Yarushalayim:

But did that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had cast out before the children of Yashar'al.

For he built again the high places which Yachazaqiyahu his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

Also he built altars in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, whereof 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had said, "In Yarushalayim shall My Name be forever."

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to provoke Him to anger.

And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of Alahiym, of which Alahiym had said to Dawid and to Shalumoh his son, "In this house, and in Yarushalayim, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Yashar'al, will I put My Name forever:"

"Neither will I any more remove the foot of Yashar'al from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole Turah and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Mushah."

So Manashah made Yahudah and the inhabitants of Yarushalayim to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had destroyed before the children of Yashar'al.

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake to Manashah, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

Wherefore 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Ashshur, which took Manashah among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babal.

And when he was in affliction, he besought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 his Alahiym, and humbled himself greatly before the Alahiym of his fathers,

And prayed unto Him: and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Yarushalayim into his kingdom. Then Manashah knew that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 He was Alahiym.

Now after this he built a wall without the city of Dawid, on the west side of Gachon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Yahudah.

And he took away the strange lo alahiym, and the idol out of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and in Yarushalayim, and cast them out of the city.

And he repaired the altar of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Yahudah to serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym of Yashar'al.

Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 their Alahiym only.

Now the rest of the acts of Manashah, and his prayer unto his Alahiym, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym of Yashar'al, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Yashar'al.

His prayer also, and how Alahiym was entreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

So Manashah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Yarushalayim.

But he did that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, as did Manashah his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manashah his father had made, and served them;

And humbled not himself before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, as Manashah his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Yoshiyahu his son king in his stead.
