¹⁷ Now ^(A)the rest of the acts of ^(B)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 ^(C)Manasseh ^[a]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.

Death of Manasseh^(A)

¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of ^(B)the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, indeed they are written in the ^[a]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 ^[b]high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of ^[c]Hozai. ^20 (C)So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.

¹⁸ So ^(A)Manasseh ^[a]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^(B)

^19 (C)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.

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, ^(A)as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

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?

^23 (A)Then the servants of Amon ^(B)conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.

²⁶ And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then Josiah his son reigned in his place.

²⁴ But the people of the land ^(A)executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

Josiah Reigns in Judah^(A)

22 Josiah ^(B)was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of ^(C)Bozkath. ² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he ^(D)did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
