1Manasseh was twelve when he started his reign, and he ruled for 55 years in Jerusalem. His mom's name? Hephzi–bah, no cap.

2He was straight up sus in the Lord's eyes, doing all the nasty stuff the other nations did before getting kicked out.

3He rebuilt the high spots his dad Hezekiah wiped out; put up altars for Baal, made a grove, and worshipped the whole crew in the sky, fr.

4He threw up altars in the Lord's house, where God said, "This is my spot in Jerusalem."

5He set up altars for all the heavenly squad in the two courts of the Lord's house, vibes.

6He made his son go through the fire, dabbled in magic, and messed with spirits and wizards; he did a lot of wicked stuff to tick off the Lord.

7He put a carved image of the grove he made in the house, where the Lord told David and Solomon, "This house in Jerusalem is where I’m putting my name forever."

8I’m not moving Israel outta the land I gave their ancestors, only if they follow my commands and the law Moses dropped on them, bet.

9But they totally ignored that; Manasseh got them to do even more evil than the nations the Lord wiped out before them, savage.

10And the Lord hit up his prophets, saying,

11Manasseh, the king, was straight up wildin', doing all the sus stuff that even the Amorites wouldn't do, and he got Judah sinning with his idols, fr.

12So God’s like, “Yo, I’m about to drop some serious bad vibes on Jerusalem and Judah, and when you hear about it, your ears gonna tingle, no cap.”

13I’m gonna measure Jerusalem like I’m checking out Samaria, and I’ll wipe it clean like a plate, flipping it upside down, periodt.

14I’ll ditch the rest of my crew and hand them over to their enemies; they gonna be easy pickings, straight up.

15They’ve been acting all kinds of shady since their fam bounced from Egypt, and it’s made me mad, for real.

16Manasseh was out here spilling innocent blood like it was nothing, filling up Jerusalem with it, plus all the other savage stuff he made Judah do against God.

17So, like, all the other things Manasseh did, and his sins, ain’t they in the history books of the kings of Judah?

18Manasseh passed away and got buried in his own garden, and then his son Amon took over, bet.

19Amon was just 22 when he started ruling, and he only lasted two years in Jerusalem. His mom was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.

20He was doing all the shady stuff just like his dad Manasseh, no doubt.

21He straight-up walked the same path as his dad, vibed with the idols his dad vibed with, and worshipped them too.

22He ghosted the Lord God of his fam, and totally didn’t follow the Lord’s way.

23Amon's crew plotted against him and took him out in his own crib.

24The locals took out everyone who conspired against King Amon, and then they crowned Josiah, his son, as the new king.

25So like, are the rest of Amon's deeds not in the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26He got laid to rest in his tomb in Uzza's garden, and then Josiah, his son, took over the throne.

1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzi–bah.

2And 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.

3For 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.

4And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

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

6And 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.

7And 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:

8Neither 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.

9But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

10And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

11Because 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:

12Therefore 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.

13And 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.

14And 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;

15Because 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.

16Moreover 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.

17Now 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?

18And 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.

19Amon 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.

20And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.

21And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

22And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

23And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.

24And 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.

25Now 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?

26And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
