2 Chronicles 33
King James Version
33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah 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.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 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 the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel 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 law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.
14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, 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 Judah.
15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
19 His prayer also, and how God was intreated 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.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
23 And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 But 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.
2 Chronicles 33
New King James Version
Manasseh Reigns in Judah(A)
33 Manasseh (B)was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the (C)abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the [a]high places which Hezekiah his father had (D)broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and (E)made wooden images; and he worshiped (F)all [b]the host of heaven and served them. 4 He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (G)“In Jerusalem shall My name be forever.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven (H)in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 (I)Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced (J)soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and (K)consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 7 (L)He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the [c]house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, (M)“In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; 8 (N)and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers—only if they are careful to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.” 9 So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Manasseh Restored After Repentance
10 And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not [d]listen. 11 (O)Therefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with [e]hooks, (P)bound him with [f]bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon. 12 Now when he was in affliction, he implored the Lord his God, and (Q)humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 13 and prayed to Him; and He (R)received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh (S)knew that the Lord was God.
14 After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of (T)Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it (U)enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah. 15 He took away (V)the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city. 16 He also repaired the altar of the Lord, sacrificed peace offerings and (W)thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel. 17 (X)Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the [g]high places, but only to the Lord their God.
Death of Manasseh(Y)
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of (Z)the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, indeed they are written in the [h]book of the kings of Israel. 19 Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built [i]high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of [j]Hozai. 20 (AA)So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.
Amon’s Reign and Death(AB)
21 (AC)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them. 23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, (AD)as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 (AE)Then his servants conspired against him, and (AF)killed him in his own house. 25 But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

Втора Паралипоменон 33
Библия, синодално издание
33 (A)Манасия беше на дванайсет години, когато се възцари, и царува в Иерусалим петдесет и пет години.
2 (B)Той вършеше, каквото беше неугодно пред очите Господни, като подражаваше гнусотиите на народите, които Господ бе прогонил от лицето на синовете Израилеви:
3 (C)съгради пак оброчищата, които бе съборил баща му Езекия, въздигна жертвеници на Вааловци, уреди дъбравите и се кланяше на цялото небесно воинство и му служеше;
4 (D)съгради жертвеници в Господния дом, за който Господ бе казал: в Иерусалим ще пребъде името Ми вечно;
5 (E)съгради и жертвеници на цялото небесно воинство в двата двора на Господния дом.
6 (F)Пак той прекарваше през огън синовете си в долината на Еномовия син, гадаеше, врачуваше и магьосваше; и нареди извиквачи на мъртъвци и вълшебници: той вършеше много неугодно в очите на Господа, за да Го прогневи.
7 (G)Направи още изваян идол и го постави в Господния дом, за който Бог бе казал на Давида и на сина му Соломона: в тоя дом и в Иерусалим, който избрах измежду всички колена Израилеви, ще положа името Си навеки;
8 (H)и не ще оставя занапред да излезе ногата Израилева от тая земя, която утвърдих за отците им, само ако те залягат да вършат всичко, що съм им заповядал по всичкия закон и наредбите, и заповедите, дадени чрез ръката Моисеева.
9 (I)Но Манасия доведе Иудея и иерусалимските жители дотам, че постъпваха полошо и от ония народи, които Господ изтреби отпред лицето на Израилевите синове.
10 И Господ говори на Манасия и на людете му, ала те не послушаха.
11 Затова Господ напрати против тях военачалниците на асирийския цар, които оковаха Манасия в окови, свързаха го с вериги и го откараха във Вавилон.
12 И в утеснението си начена да моли Господа, своя Бог, и дълбоко се смири пред Бога на отците си.
13 (J)И помоли се Нему, и Бог се приклони към него, чу молбата му и го възвърна в Иерусалим на царството му. И разбра Манасия, че Господ е Бог.
14 (K)След това той съгради външната стена на Давидовия град, западно от Геон, по дола и до входа на Рибни порти, и прекара я около Офел и я издигна високо. И постави военачалници по всички укрепени градове в Иудея,
15 премахна чуждите богове, идола от Господния дом и всички капища, които беше съградил върху планината на Господния дом и в Иерусалим, и ги изхвърли извън града.
16 И поднови жертвеника Господен и принесе върху него жертви, мирни и хвалебни, и поръча на иудеите да служат на Господа, Бога Израилев.
17 Ала народът още принасяше жертви по оброчищата, макар и на Господа, своя Бог.
18 (L)Останалите дела Манасиеви, молитвата му към своя Бог, и думите на ясновидците, които му говориха от името на Господа, Бога Израилев, се намират в записките на царете Израилеви.
19 И молитвата му, и това, че Господ се приклони към него, и всичките му грехове и беззаконията му, и местата, по които бе въздигнал оброчища и поставил образи на Астарта и истукани, преди да се смири, са описани в записките на Хозая.
20 (M)И почина Манасия при отците си, и го погребаха в дома му. Вместо него се възцари син му Амон.
21 Амон беше на двайсет и две години, когато се възцари, и царува в Иерусалим две години.
22 Той вършеше, каквото беше неугодно пред очите Господни тъй, както вършеше баща му Манасия: на всички истукани, които бе направил баща му Манасия, Амон принасяше жертва и им служеше.
23 И се не смири пред Господа, както се смири баща му Манасия; напротив, Амон умножи греховете си.
24 Слугите му направиха съзаклятие против него и го убиха в дома му.
25 (N)Ала народът на страната изби всички, които бяха в съзаклятието против цар Амона; и вместо него народът на страната възцари сина му Иосия.
