For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, «In Jerusalem I will put My name.»

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

Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

He even set a carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son, «In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

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.»

But they paid no attention, and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying,

«Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols),

therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel: «Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies,

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.»́

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.

Now the rest of the acts of 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?

So Manasseh 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 was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His motheŕs name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

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.

He forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

Then the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.

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

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?

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

Сы́нъ двана́десяти лѣ́тъ Манассі́а, егда́ нача́ ца́рствовати, и пятьдеся́тъ пя́ть лѣ́тъ ца́рствова во Иерусали́мѣ. И́мя ма́тере его́ Офові́а.

И сотвори́ лука́вое предъ очи́ма Госпо́днима, и хожда́ше вслѣ́дъ ме́рзостей язы́ковъ, и́хже отрину Госпо́дь от лица́ сыно́въ Изра́илевыхъ:

и обрати́ся, и созда́ высо́кая, и́же разори́ оте́цъ его́ езекі́а, и воздви́же же́ртвенникъ Ваа́лу, и сотвори́ дубра́вы, я́коже сотвори́ Ахаа́въ ца́рь Изра́илевъ, и поклони́ся все́й си́лѣ небе́снѣй и порабо́та и́мъ:

и созда́ олта́рь въ дому́ Госпо́дни, я́коже рече́ Госпо́дь: во Иерусали́мѣ положу́ и́мя мое́.

И сотвори́ олта́рь все́й си́лѣ небе́снѣй на дву́ двору́ до́му Госпо́дня:

и провожда́ше сы́ны своя́ чрезъ о́гнь, и вража́ше, и волшве́нiя творя́ше, и сотвори́ ка́пища, и волше́бницы умно́жи твори́ти лука́вое предъ очи́ма Госпо́днима, е́же прогнѣ́вати его́:

и поста́ви изва́яное дубра́вы въ хра́мѣ, о не́мже рече́ Госпо́дь къ дави́ду и къ Соломо́ну сы́ну его́: въ хра́мѣ се́мъ и во Иерусали́мѣ, его́же избра́хъ от всѣ́хъ колѣ́нъ Изра́илевыхъ, и положу́ ту́ и́мя мое́ на вѣ́ки,

и не приложу́ подви́гнутися но́зѣ Изра́илевѣ от земли́, ю́же да́хъ отце́мъ и́хъ, а́ще ті́и соблюду́тъ вся́ ели́ка заповѣ́дахъ, по все́й за́повѣди, ю́же заповѣ́да и́мъ ра́бъ мо́й Моисе́й.

И не послу́шаша, и прельсти́ и́хъ Манассі́а, е́же сотвори́ти лука́вое предъ очи́ма Госпо́днима па́че язы́къ, я́же истреби́ Госпо́дь от лица́ сыно́въ Изра́илевыхъ.

И глаго́ла Госпо́дь руко́ю рабо́въ свои́хъ проро́ковъ, глаго́ля:

за сiя́, ели́ка сотвори́ Манассі́а ца́рь Иу́динъ ме́рзости сiя́ лука́выя, па́че всѣ́хъ я́же сотвори́ша Аморре́е, и́же пре́жде сего́ бы́ша, и введе́ во грѣ́хъ и Иу́ду, въ кумíрѣхъ свои́хъ:

не та́ко: си́це глаго́летъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ Изра́илевъ: се́, а́зъ наведу́ зла́я на Иерусали́мъ и на Иу́ду, я́ко вся́кому слы́шащему пошумя́тъ обоя́ у́ха его́,

и простру́ на Иерусали́мъ мѣ́ру самарі́йскую и вѣсы́ до́му Ахаа́вля: и истреблю́ Иерусали́ма, я́коже изглажда́ется алава́стръ изглажда́емый и превраща́ется въ лице́ свое́:

и изри́ну оста́нки достоя́нiя моего́ и преда́мъ и́хъ въ ру́ки враго́въ и́хъ, и бу́дутъ въ расхище́нiе и въ плѣ́нъ всѣ́мъ враго́мъ свои́мъ:

поне́же сотвори́ша лука́вое предъ очи́ма мои́ма и бы́ша прогнѣвля́юще мя́ от дне́, въ о́ньже изведо́хъ отцы́ и́хъ от земли́ Еги́петскiя, и до дне́ сего́.

Еще́ же кро́вь непови́нную излiя́ Манассі́а мно́гу зѣло́, до́ндеже напо́лни Иерусали́му уста́ до у́стъ, кромѣ́ грѣхо́въ его́, и́миже во грѣ́хъ введе́ Иу́ду, сотвори́ти лука́вое предъ очи́ма Госпо́днима.

И про́чая слове́съ Манассі́иныхъ, и вся́ ели́ка сотвори́, и грѣ́хъ его́, и́мже согрѣши́, не сiя́ ли напи́сана въ кни́зѣ слове́съ дні́й царе́й Иу́диныхъ?

И у́спе Манассі́а со отцы́ свои́ми, и погребе́нъ бы́сть въ вертогра́дѣ до́му своего́, въ вертогра́дѣ о́зы. И воцари́ся Аммо́нъ сы́нъ его́ вмѣ́сто его́:

сы́нъ два́десяти дву́ лѣ́тъ бѣ́ Аммо́нъ, егда́ нача́ ца́рствовати и два́ лѣ́та ца́рствова во Иерусали́мѣ. И́мя же ма́тери его́ Месолла́мъ, дщи́ Ару́сова изъ Иете́вы.

И сотвори́ лука́вое предъ очи́ма Госпо́днима, я́коже сотвори́ Манассі́а оте́цъ его́,

и хожда́ше по всему́ пути́, и́мже ходи́ оте́цъ его́, и порабо́та кумíромъ, и́мже порабо́та оте́цъ его́, и поклони́ся и́мъ:

и оста́ви Го́спода Бо́га оте́цъ свои́хъ, и не ходи́ путе́мъ Госпо́днимъ.

И воста́ша о́троцы Аммо́новы на́нь и умертви́ша царя́ въ дому́ его́.

Лю́дiе же земли́ [тоя́] изби́ша всѣ́хъ воста́вшихъ на царя́ Аммо́на, и воцари́ша лю́дiе земли́ тоя́ Иосі́ю сы́на его́ вмѣ́сто его́.

И про́чая слове́съ Аммо́новыхъ, ели́ка сотвори́, не се́ ли, сiя́ напи́сана въ кни́зѣ слове́съ дні́й царе́й Иу́диныхъ?

И погребо́ша его́ во гро́бѣ его́ въ вертогра́дѣ о́зинѣ. И воцари́ся Иосі́а сы́нъ его́ вмѣ́сто его́.
