1Manasseh was just 12 when he started running things, and he ruled for 55 years in Jerusalem, no cap.

2But he was doing some sus stuff in God's eyes, just like the savage practices of the nations God kicked out before Israel.

3He brought back the high places his dad Hezekiah tore down, built altars for Baalim, made groves, and worshipped the whole squad of heaven, serving them like it was lit.

4He even set up altars in the Lord's house, where God was like, "My name's gonna be here forever, periodt."

5Plus, he built altars for all the heavenly hosts in the two courts of the Lord's house, just vibing.

6He made his kids walk through fire in the valley of Hinnom, practiced some wild magic, and messed with spirits and wizards, doing mad evil to make God angry.

7He placed a carved idol he made in God's house, where God told David and Solomon, "This is my house in Jerusalem, forever."

8God was like, "I ain't gonna kick Israel out of the land I promised your ancestors, as long as they follow my rules, fr."

9So Manasseh led Judah and Jerusalem to mess up even worse than the nations God wiped out before Israel, no cap.

10And God spoke to Manasseh and his crew, but they were like, "Nah, we're good."

11So God sent the Assyrian army, who snagged Manasseh among the thorns, chained him up, and took him to Babylon, savage move.

12When he was in trouble, he hit up the Lord, humbled himself big time before the God of his ancestors, real talk.

13He prayed, and God was like, "I got you," heard his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem and his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew the Lord was the real deal.

14After that, he built a wall outside David's city on the west side of Gihon, from the valley to the fish gate, and made it super tall, putting war captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

15He ditched the strange gods and the idol from the Lord's house, plus all the altars he built on the mount of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, tossing them out of the city, no cap.

16He fixed the Lord's altar, made peace and thank offerings, and told Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel, periodt.

17Still, the people kept sacrificing in the high places, but only to the Lord their God, vibing.

18The rest of Manasseh's acts, his prayer, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in God's name, they’re all written in the kings of Israel's book, no cap.

19His prayer, how God was there for him, all his sins, and where he built high places and set up groves and idols before he humbled himself, it’s all in the sayings of the seers.

20So Manasseh passed away and was buried at home, and his son Amon took over, no cap.

21Amon was 22 when he started his reign and held it down for two years in Jerusalem, no cap.

22But he was doing the same sus stuff as his dad Manasseh, sacrificing to all the idols Manasseh made and serving them, fr.

23He didn't humble himself before the Lord like Manasseh did; instead, he just kept messing up more.

24His servants plotted against him and took him out in his own crib, savage.

25But the locals took out all the conspirators against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king instead, periodt.

1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

2But 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.

3For 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.

4Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

6And 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.

7And 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:

8Neither 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.

9So 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.

10And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

11Wherefore 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.

12And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

13And 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.

14Now 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.

15And 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.

16And 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.

17Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.

18Now 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.

19His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, 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.

20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22But 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;

23And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

25But 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.
