유다 왕 므낫세
(대하 33:1-20)
21 므낫세는 열두 살에 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 오십오 년 동안 다스렸다. 그의 어머니의 이름은 헵시바였다. 2 그는 주께서 보시기에 악한 일을 하였다. 그는 주께서 이스라엘 백성 앞에서 쫓아내신 민족들의 역겨운 관습을 그대로 따랐다. 3 그는 자기 아버지 히스기야가 헐어 버린 산당들을 다시 지었다. 그리고 이스라엘 왕 아합이 한 것처럼 제단을 쌓아 바알에게 바치고 아세라 장대를 만들어 세웠다. 그는 하늘의 모든 별에게 절하고 그것들을 섬겼다. 4 일찍이 주께서는 “내가 예루살렘에 나의 이름을 두겠다.”라고 말씀하셨다. 그런데 그는 주의 성전에도 우상을 섬기는 제단을 만들었다. 5 그리고 주의 성전에 있는 두 개의 뜰에는 하늘의 모든 별을 섬기는 제단을 만들었다. 6 그는 자기 아들을 불살라 바칠 뿐만 아니라, 주문을 외우고 점을 치고, 영매와 강신술사[a]를 시켜 귀신을 불러 물어보기도 하였다. 그는 이렇게 주께서 보시기에 악한 일을 하여 주의 화를 돋우었다.
7 그는 자신의 손으로 직접 새겨 만든 아세라 장대를 성전 안에 두었다. 그러나 주께서는 일찍이 이 성전을 두고 다윗과 그의 아들 솔로몬에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “내가 이스라엘의 모든 가문 가운데서 택한 이 성전과 이 예루살렘에 나의 이름을 영원토록 두겠다. 8 만일 이스라엘 자손이 삼가 내가 명령한 모든 것을 지키고, 나의 종 모세가 일러 준 모든 율법을 지키면 내가 다시는 그들의 조상에게 준 땅에서 그들을 쫓아내지 않겠다.” 9 그러나 이스라엘 백성은 그 말씀에 귀를 기울이지 않았다. 오히려 므낫세는 주께서 그들 앞에서 멸망시킨 민족들보다도 악한 일을 더 많이 하도록 백성을 잘못 이끌었다.
10 주께서 당신의 종 예언자들을 통하여 이렇게 말씀하셨다. 11 “유다 왕 므낫세가 이처럼 혐오스러운 죄를 지었다. 그는 그보다 앞서 있었던 아모리 사람들보다 더 악한 일을 하고 우상을 만들어 유다가 죄를 짓도록 이끌었다. 12 그러므로 나 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 말한다. ‘내가 예루살렘과 유다에 재앙을 내리겠다. 이 소식을 듣는 사람마다 깜짝 놀라 가슴이 철렁 내려앉을 것이다. 13 내가 사마리아를 잰 측량줄과 아합 궁에 쓴 다림줄을 예루살렘에도 쓰겠다[b]. 또 사람이 접시를 깨끗이 닦아 엎어놓는 것처럼 내가 예루살렘을 깨끗이 닦아 버리겠다. 14 나는 내 소유인 내 백성 가운데, 살아남은 자들마저도 버리겠고 그들을 원수의 손에 넘겨주겠다. 그러면 그들은 모든 원수에게 털리고 약탈을 당할 것이다. 15 그들이 내가 보기에 악한 일을 하고, 그들의 조상이 이집트에서 나온 날부터 오늘에 이르기까지 나의 화를 돋우었기 때문이다. 16 므낫세는 유다로 하여금 나 주가 보기에 악한 일을 하도록 잘못 인도하는 죄를 지었다. 거기다가 그는 죄 없는 사람을 너무 많이 죽여서 예루살렘을 이 끝에서부터 저 끝까지 피로 가득 채웠다.’”
17 므낫세가 다스리는 동안에 일어난 일들과 그가 지은 죄를 비롯하여 그가 한 모든 일이 ‘유다 왕들의 역사’에 기록되어 있다. 18 므낫세는 죽어서 그의 궁궐 안에 있는 웃사의 정원에 묻혔다. 그의 아들 아몬이 그의 뒤를 이어서 왕이 되었다.
유다 왕 아몬
(대하 33:21-25)
19 아몬은 스물두 살에 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 두 해 동안 다스렸다. 그의 어머니는 욧바 사람 하루스의 딸 므술레멧이었다. 20 그는 자기 아버지 므낫세가 한 것과 같이 주께서 보시기에 악한 일을 하였다. 21 그는 자기 아버지가 걷던 길을 모두 따라 걸으며, 그의 아버지가 섬기던 우상들을 예배하고 그것들에게 절하였다. 22 그는 그의 조상들이 섬기던 주 하나님을 버리고 주의 길을 따라 살지 않았다.
23 결국 아몬의 신하들이 역모하여 궁궐 안에서 그를 암살하였다. 24 그러나 그 땅의 백성이 아몬 왕에게 반역한 신하들을 모두 죽이고, 그의 아들 요시야를 왕으로 세웠다.
25 아몬이 다스리는 동안에 일어난 일들과 그가 한 모든 일이 ‘유다 왕들의 역사’에 기록되어 있다. 26 아몬은 웃사의 정원에 있는 그의 무덤에 묻혔다. 그의 아들 요시야가 그의 뒤를 이어 왕이 되었다.

Manasseh King of Judah(A)(B)
21 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.(C) 2 He did evil(D) in the eyes of the Lord, following the detestable practices(E) of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places(F) his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he also erected altars to Baal(G) and made an Asherah pole,(H) as Ahab king of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the starry hosts(I) and worshiped them. 4 He built altars(J) in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put my Name.”(K) 5 In the two courts(L) of the temple of the Lord, he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his own son(M) in the fire, practiced divination,(N) sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists.(O) He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing(P) his anger.
7 He took the carved Asherah pole(Q) he had made and put it in the temple,(R) of which the Lord had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name(S) forever. 8 I will not again(T) make the feet of the Israelites wander from the land I gave their ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them and will keep the whole Law that my servant Moses(U) gave them.” 9 But the people did not listen. Manasseh led them astray, so that they did more evil(V) than the nations(W) the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 The Lord said through his servants the prophets: 11 “Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins. He has done more evil(X) than the Amorites(Y) who preceded him and has led Judah into sin with his idols.(Z) 12 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster(AA) on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.(AB) 13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line(AC) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe(AD) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 I will forsake(AE) the remnant(AF) of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies; 15 they have done evil(AG) in my eyes and have aroused(AH) my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”
16 Moreover, Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood(AI) that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin that he had caused Judah(AJ) to commit, so that they did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
17 As for the other events of Manasseh’s reign, and all he did, including the sin he committed, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 18 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace garden,(AK) the garden of Uzza. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
Amon King of Judah(AL)
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. 20 He did evil(AM) in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. 21 He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them. 22 He forsook(AN) the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk(AO) in obedience to him.
23 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated(AP) the king in his palace. 24 Then the people of the land killed(AQ) all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah(AR) his son king in his place.
25 As for the other events of Amon’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden(AS) of Uzza. And Josiah his son succeeded him as king.

King James Version
21 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
24 And 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.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

Manasseh Reigns in Judah(A)
21 Manasseh (B)was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (C)according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the [a]high places (D)which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a [b]wooden image, (E)as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he (F)worshiped all [c]the host of heaven and served them. 4 (G)He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (H)“In Jerusalem I will put My name.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the (I)two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 (J)Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced (K)soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 7 He even set a carved image of [d]Asherah that he had made, in the [e]house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, (L)“In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; 8 (M)and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers—only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.” 9 But they paid no attention, and Manasseh (N)seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spoke (O)by His servants the prophets, saying, 11 (P)“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations ((Q)he has acted more wickedly than all the (R)Amorites who were before him, and (S)has also made Judah sin with his idols), 12 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both (T)his ears will tingle. 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem (U)the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; (V)I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 So I will forsake the (W)remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, 15 because they have done evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’ ”
16 (X)Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now (Y)the rest of the acts of (Z)Manasseh—all that he did, and the sin that he committed—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 18 So (AA)Manasseh [f]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.
Amon’s Reign and Death(AB)
19 (AC)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (AD)as his father Manasseh had done. 21 So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. 22 He (AE)forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 (AF)Then the servants of Amon (AG)conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house. 24 But the people of the land (AH)executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 26 And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then Josiah his son reigned in his place.
