Young's Literal Translation

King James Version
A
son
of
twelve years is
Manasseh
in
his
reigning
, and fifty and five years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem ;
Manasseh
was
twelve years old
when
he
began
to
reign
, and he
reigned
fifty and five years in Jerusalem :
and
he
doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, like the abominations of the nations
that
Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of Israel ,
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 .
and
he turneth
and
buildeth
the high places that
Hezekiah his father hath
broken down, and raiseth
altars for Baalim, and maketh
shrines
, and boweth
himself
to
all the host of the
heavens
, and serveth
them.
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.
And
he hath
built altars in the house of Jehovah
of
which
Jehovah
had said, `
In Jerusalem is
My name to
the
age
. '
Also
he built altars in the house of the
LORD,
whereof
the
LORD
had said, In Jerusalem shall
my name be
for
ever
.
And he buildeth
altars to
all the host of the
heavens
in the two courts of the house of Jehovah
.
And he built
altars for
all the host of heaven
in the two courts of the house of the
LORD
.
And he hath
caused his sons
to pass over
through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom ,
and
observed clouds
and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a
wizard;
he hath
multiplied
to
do
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, to provoke him to anger.
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.
And he placeth
the
graven
image of
the idol that
he made in the house of God, of which God said unto
David ,
and unto
Solomon his son, `
In this house, and in Jerusalem that
I have chosen out
of
all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to
the
age,
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:
and
I add
not
to
turn
aside
the foot of Israel from off
the ground
that
I appointed to
your fathers ,
only,
if
they watch
to do all that I have commanded them --
to all
the law ,
and the statutes ,
and the ordinances by the hand of Moses. '
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.
And
Manasseh maketh
Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil
above
the nations
that
Jehovah
destroyed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of Israel.
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.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Manasseh and unto
his people ,
and
they have
not attended,
And the
LORD
spake
to
Manasseh ,
and to
his people :
but
they would
not hearken.
and
Jehovah
bringeth
in
against
them the heads
of the host that
the king of Asshur
hath
, and
they
capture
Manasseh among the thickets
, and bind
him with brazen
fetters, and cause
him to go
to
Babylon.
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.
And when he is
in distress
he hath
appeased
the face
of
Jehovah
his God, and is
humbled exceedingly
before the God of his fathers,
And when he was
in affliction,
he besought
the LORD
his God, and humbled himself
greatly
before the God of his fathers,
and prayeth
unto Him ,
and He is
entreated
of him, and heareth
his supplication, and bringeth
him back
to Jerusalem ,
to
his kingdom ,
and
Manasseh knoweth
that Jehovah
--
He `is'
God.
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.
And
after this he hath
built an
outer
wall to
the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and
at
the entering in at the fish -
gate, and it
hath
gone
round
to
the
tower
, and he
maketh
it exceeding
high
, and he
putteth
heads
of the
force
in all the cities of the
bulwarks
in
Judah.
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.
And he turneth
aside
the gods of
the
stranger
, and the idol ,
out of the house of Jehovah
, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah
and in Jerusalem, and casteth
`
them '
to
the
outside
of the city.
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.
And he buildeth
the altar of Jehovah
, and sacrificeth
upon
it
sacrifices
of
peace -
offerings and thank -offering
, and saith
to
Judah to serve Jehovah,
God of Israel ;
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 .
but
still
the people are
sacrificing
in high places, only
--
to
Jehovah
their God.
Nevertheless
the people did
sacrifice
still
in the
high places, yet
unto
the
LORD
their God only
.
And
the rest of the matters
of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters
of the seers ,
those
speaking
unto
him in the name of Jehovah,
God of Israel, lo
, they are `on
the book of '
the matters
of
the
kings of Israel ;
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 .
and
his prayer, and his
entreaty
, and all his sin
, and his trespass, and the places in
which
he had
built high places, and established
the
shrines
and the
graven images before his
being
humbled ,
lo
, they are written beside
the matters
of Hozai
.
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
.
And
Manasseh lieth
with his fathers, and they bury
him in his own house ,
and reign
doth
Amon his son in his stead.
So
Manasseh slept
with his fathers, and they buried
him in his own house :
and Amon his son reigned
in his stead.
A
son
of
twenty
and
two years `is'
Amon
in
his
reigning
, and two years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem ,
Amon
was
two and
twenty
years old
when
he
began
to
reign
, and reigned
two years in Jerusalem .
and
he doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, as did Manasseh his father ,
and
to
all the graven
images that
Manasseh his father had made hath
Amon
sacrificed
, and serveth
them ,
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 ;
and hath
not
been
humbled before Jehovah,
like
the humbling
of
Manasseh his father ,
for
Amon
himself hath
multiplied
guilt
.
And humbled not
himself
before the LORD,
as
Manasseh his father had
humbled
himself ;
but
Amon
trespassed
more
and
more
.
And his servants conspire
against him, and put
him to
death
in his own house ,
And his servants conspired
against him, and slew
him in his own house .
and
the people of the land smite
all those
conspiring
against king Amon ,
and the people of the land cause
Josiah his son to
reign
in his stead.
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.
