Dual Panel1Manasseh<4519> was twelve<8147><6240> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> fifty-five<2572> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Hephzibah<2657>.
2He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, according to the abominations<8441> of the nations<1471> whom<834> the LORD<3068> dispossessed<3423> before<4480><6440> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>.
3For he rebuilt<7725><1129> the high<1116> places<1116> which<834> Hezekiah<2396> his father<1> had destroyed<6>; and he erected<6965> altars<4196> for Baal<1168> and made<6213> an Asherah<842>, as Ahab<256> king<4428> of Israel<3478> had done<6213>, and worshiped<7812> all<3605> the host<6635> of heaven<8064> and served<5647> them.
4He built<1129> altars<4196> in the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>, of which<834> the LORD<3068> had said<559>, "In Jerusalem<3389> I will put<7760> My name<8034>."
5For he built<1129> altars<4196> for all<3605> the host<6635> of heaven<8064> in the two<8147> courts<2691> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>.
6He made his son<1121> pass<5674> through the fire<784>, practiced<6049> witchcraft<6049> and used<5172> divination<5172>, and dealt<6213> with mediums<178> and spiritists<3049>. He did<6213> much<7235> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068> provoking<3707> Him to anger.
7Then he set<7760> the carved<6459> image<6459> of Asherah<842> that he had made<6213>, in the house<1004> of which<834> the LORD<3068> said<559> to David<1732> and to his son<1121> Solomon<8010>, "In this<2088> house<1004> and in Jerusalem<3389>, which<834> I have chosen<977> from all<3605> the tribes<7626> of Israel<3478>, I will put<7760> My name<8034> forever<5769>.
8"And I will not make the feet<7272> of Israel<3478> wander<5110> anymore<3254> from the land<127> which<834> I gave<5414> their fathers<1>, if<518> only<7534> they will observe<8104> to do<6213> according to all<3605> that I have commanded<6680> them, and according to all<3605> the law<8451> that My servant<5650> Moses<4872> commanded<6680> them."
9But they did not listen<8085>, and Manasseh<4519> seduced<8582> them to do<6213> evil<7451> more<4480> than<4480> the nations<1471> whom<834> the LORD<3068> destroyed<8045> before<4480><6440> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>.
10Now the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> through<3027> His servants<5650> the prophets<5030>, saying<559>,
11"Because<3282><834> Manasseh<4519> king<4428> of Judah<3063> has done<6213> these<428> abominations<8441>, having done<7489> wickedly<7489> more<4480> than<4480> all<3605> the Amorites<567> did<6213> who<834> were before<6440> him, and has also<1571> made Judah<3063> sin<2398> with his idols<1544>;
12therefore<3651> thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of Israel<3478>, 'Behold<2009>, I am bringing<935> such calamity<7463> on Jerusalem<3389> and Judah<3063>, that whoever<3605> hears<8085> of it, both<8147> his ears<241> will tingle<6750>.
13'I will stretch<5186> over<5921> Jerusalem<3389> the line<6957> of Samaria<8111> and the plummet<4949> of the house<1004> of Ahab<256>, and I will wipe<4229> Jerusalem<3389> as one wipes<4229> a dish<6747>, wiping<4229> it and turning<2015> it upside<5921><6440> down<6440>.
14'I will abandon<5203> the remnant<7611> of My inheritance<5159> and deliver<5414> them into the hand<3027> of their enemies<340>, and they will become<1961> as plunder<957> and spoil<4933> to all<3605> their enemies<340>;
15because<3282><834> they have done<6213> evil<7451> in My sight<5869>, and have been<1961> provoking<3707> Me to anger<3707> since<4480> the day<3117> their fathers<1> came<3318> from Egypt<4714>, even to this<2088> day<3117>.'"
16Moreover<1571>, Manasseh<4519> shed<8210> very<3966> much<7235> innocent<5355> blood<1818> until<5704><834> he had filled<4390> Jerusalem<3389> from one<6310> end<6310> to another<6310>; besides<905><4480> his sin<2403> with which<834> he made Judah<3063> sin<2398>, in doing<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>.
17Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Manasseh<4519> and all<3605> that he did<6213> and his sin<2403> which<834> he committed<2398>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
18And Manasseh<4519> slept<7901> with his fathers<1> and was buried<6912> in the garden<1588> of his own house<1004>, in the garden<1588> of Uzza<5798>, and Amon<526> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
19Amon<526> was twenty-two<6242><8147> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> two<8147> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Meshullemeth<4922> the daughter<1323> of Haruz<2743> of Jotbah<3192>.
20He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, as Manasseh<4519> his father<1> had done<6213>.
21For he walked<1980> in all<3605> the way<1870> that his father<1> had walked<1980>, and served<5647> the idols<1544> that his father<1> had served<5647> and worshiped<7812> them.
22So he forsook<5800> the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of his fathers<1>, and did not walk<1980> in the way<1870> of the LORD<3068>.
23The servants<5650> of Amon<526> conspired<7194> against<5921> him and killed<4191> the king<4428> in his own house<1004>.
24Then the people<5971> of the land<776> killed<5221> all<3605> those who had conspired<7194> against<5921> King<4428> Amon<526>, and the people<5971> of the land<776> made<4427> Josiah<2977> his son<1121> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
25Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Amon<526> which<834> he did<6213>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
26He was buried<6912> in his grave<6900> in the garden<1588> of Uzza<5798>, and Josiah<2977> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
