2 Chronicles 33:16-25
33:16 He erected the altar of the
Lord and offered on it peace offerings and thank offerings. He told the people of
Judah to serve the
Lord God of Israel.
33:17 The people continued to offer sacrifices at the high places, but only to the
Lord their God.
33:18 The rest of the events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the prophets spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Israel.
33:19 The Annals of the Prophets include his prayer, give an account of how the Lord responded to it, record all his sins and unfaithful acts, and identify the sites where he built high places and erected Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself.
33:20 Manasseh passed away and was buried in his palace. His son Amon replaced him as king.
Amon’s Reign
33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.
33:22 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done. He offered sacrifices to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and worshiped them.
33:23 He did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done. Amon was guilty of great sin.
33:24 His servants conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
33:25 The people of the land executed all who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
