Dual Panel1Manasseh <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>_.
2And 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>_.
3For 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.
4And 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>_.
5And 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>_.
6And 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)_.
7And 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>_:
8Neither 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.
9But 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>_.
10And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) by <03027> his servants <05650> the prophets <05030>_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
11Because 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>_:
12Therefore 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)_.
13And 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}
14And 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)_;
15Because 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>_.
16Moreover 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}
17Now 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>_?
18And 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.
19Amon <0526> [was] twenty <06242> and two <08147> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800)_, and he reigned <04427> (8804) two <08147> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>_. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> [was] Meshullemeth <04922>_, the daughter <01323> of Haruz <02743> of Jotbah <03192>_.
20And he did <06213> (8799) [that which was] evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>_, as his father <01> Manasseh <04519> did <06213> (8804)_.
21And he walked <03212> (8799) in all the way <01870> that his father <01> walked in <01980> (8804)_, and served <05647> (8799) the idols <01544> that his father <01> served <05647> (8804)_, and worshipped <07812> (8691) them:
22And he forsook <05800> (8799) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>_, and walked <01980> (8804) not in the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>_.
23And the servants <05650> of Amon <0526> conspired <07194> (8799) against him, and slew <04191> (8686) the king <04428> in his own house <01004>_.
24And the people <05971> of the land <0776> slew <05221> (8686) all them that had conspired <07194> (8802) against king <04428> Amon <0526>_; and the people <05971> of the land <0776> made Josiah <02977> his son <01121> king <04427> (8686) in his stead.
25Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Amon <0526> which he did <06213> (8804)_, [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_?
26And he was buried <06912> (8799) in his sepulchre <06900> in the garden <01588> of Uzza <05798>_: and Josiah <02977> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}
