2 Kings 21:1-18

Manasseh
<04519>
[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
fifty
<02572>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Hephzibah
<02657>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
after the abominations
<08441>
of the heathen
<01471>_,
whom the LORD
<03068>
cast out
<03423> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
For he built up
<01129> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
the high places
<01116>
which Hezekiah
<02396>
his father
<01>
had destroyed
<06> (8765)_;
and he reared up
<06965> (8686)
altars
<04196>
for Baal
<01168>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a grove
<0842>_,
as did
<06213> (8804)
Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_;
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
them.
And he built
<01129> (8804)
altars
<04196>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
of which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
In Jerusalem
<03389>
will I put
<07760> (8799)
my name
<08034>_.
And he built
<01129> (8799)
altars
<04196>
for all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
in the two
<08147>
courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And he made his son
<01121>
pass
<05674> (8689)
through the fire
<0784>_,
and observed times
<06049> (8782)_,
and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,
and dealt
<06213> (8804)
with familiar spirits
<0178>
and wizards
<03049>_:
he wrought
<06213> (8800)
much
<07235> (8689)
wickedness
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to provoke [him] to anger
<03707> (8687)_.
And he set
<07760> (8799)
a graven image
<06459>
of the grove
<0842>
that he had made
<06213> (8804)
in the house
<01004>_,
of which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
to David
<01732>_,
and to Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_,
In this house
<01004>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
out of all tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
will I put
<07760> (8799)
my name
<08034>
for ever
<05769>_:
Neither will I make the feet
<07272>
of Israel
<03478>
move
<05110> (8687)
any more
<03254> (8686)
out of the land
<0127>
which I gave
<05414> (8804)
their fathers
<01>_;
only if they will observe
<08104> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
them, and according to all the law
<08451>
that my servant
<05650>
Moses
<04872>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
them.
But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not: and Manasseh
<04519>
seduced
<08582> (8686)
them to do
<06213> (8800)
more evil
<07451>
than did the nations
<01471>
whom the LORD
<03068>
destroyed
<08045> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
by
<03027>
his servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Because Manasseh
<04519>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
these abominations
<08441>_,
[and] hath done wickedly
<07489> (8689)
above all that the Amorites
<0567>
did
<06213> (8804)_,
which [were] before
<06440>
him, and hath made Judah
<03063>
also to sin
<02398> (8686)
with his idols
<01544>_:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I [am] bringing
<0935> (8688)
[such] evil
<07451>
upon Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
that whosoever heareth
<08085> (8802)
of it, both
<08147>
his ears
<0241>
shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.
And I will stretch
<05186> (8804)
over Jerusalem
<03389>
the line
<06957>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
and the plummet
<04949>
of the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
and I will wipe
<04229> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>
as [a man] wipeth
<04229> (8799)
a dish
<06747>_,
wiping
<04229> (8804)
[it], and turning
<02015> (8804)
[it] upside down
<06440>_.
{wiping...: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}
And I will forsake
<05203> (8804)
the remnant
<07611>
of mine inheritance
<05159>_,
and deliver
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
and they shall become a prey
<0957>
and a spoil
<04933>
to all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
Because they have done
<06213> (8804)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in my sight
<05869>_,
and have provoked
<04480>
me to anger
<03707> (8688)_,
since the day
<03117>
their fathers
<01>
came forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
even unto this day
<03117>_.
Moreover Manasseh
<04519>
shed
<08210> (8804)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_,
till he had filled
<04390> (8765)
Jerusalem
<03389>
from one end
<06310>
to another
<06310>_;
beside his sin
<02403>
wherewith he made Judah
<03063>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_,
in doing
<06213> (8800)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and his sin
<02403>
that he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
And Manasseh
<04519>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the garden
<01588>
of his own house
<01004>_,
in the garden
<01588>
of Uzza
<05798>_:
and Amon
<0526>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
