2 Chronicles 33:1-18

33:1

Manasseh
<04519>

[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

fifty
<02572>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

33:2

But did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

like unto the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

had cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:3

For he built
<01129> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

the high places
<01116>

which Hezekiah
<03169>

his father
<01>

had broken down
<05422> (8765)_,

and he reared up
<06965> (8686)

altars
<04196>

for Baalim
<01168>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

groves
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them. {he built...: Heb. he returned and built}

33:4

Also he built
<01129> (8804)

altars
<04196>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)_,

In Jerusalem
<03389>

shall my name
<08034>

be for ever
<05769>_.

33:5

And he built
<01129> (8799)

altars
<04196>

for all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>

in the two
<08147>

courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

33:6

And he caused
<05674> (0)

his children
<01121>

to pass through
<05674> (8689)

the fire
<0784>

in the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_:

also he observed times
<06049> (8782)_,

and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,

and used witchcraft
<03784> (8765)_,

and dealt
<06213> (8804)

with a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

and with wizards
<03049>_:

he wrought
<06213> (8800)

much
<07235> (8689)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

33:7

And he set
<07760> (8799)

a carved image
<06459>_,

the idol
<05566>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_,

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

of which God
<0430>

had said
<0559> (8804)

to David
<01732>

and to Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

In this house
<01004>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

before all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>

for ever
<05865>_:

33:8

Neither will I any more
<03254> (8686)

remove
<05493> (8687)

the foot
<07272>

of Israel
<03478>

from out
<05921>

of the land
<0127>

which I have appointed
<05975> (8689)

for your fathers
<01>_;

so that
<0518>

they will take heed
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

them, according to the whole law
<08451>

and the statutes
<02706>

and the ordinances
<04941>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

33:9

So Manasseh
<04519>

made
<08582> (0)

Judah
<03063>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

to err
<08582> (8686)_,

[and] to do
<06213> (8800)

worse
<07451>

than the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

had destroyed
<08045> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:10

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

to Manasseh
<04519>_,

and to his people
<05971>_:

but they would not hearken
<07181> (8689)_.

33:11

Wherefore the LORD
<03068>

brought
<0935> (8686)

upon them the captains of
<08269>

the host of
<06635>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

which took
<03920> (8799)

Manasseh
<04519>

among the thorns
<02336>_,

and bound him
<0631> (8799)

with fetters
<05178>_,

and carried
<03212> (8686)

him to Babylon
<0894>_.

{of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}

33:12

And when he was in affliction
<06887> (8687)_,

he besought
<02470> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

and humbled
<03665> (8735)

himself greatly
<03966>

before
<06440>

the God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

33:13

And prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto him: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)

of him, and heard
<08085> (8799)

his supplication
<08467>_,

and brought him again
<07725> (8686)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

into his kingdom
<04438>_.

Then Manasseh
<04519>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

he [was] God
<0430>_.

33:14

Now after this
<0310>

he built
<01129> (8804)

a wall
<02346>

without
<02435>

the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

on the west side
<04628>

of Gihon
<01521>_,

in the valley
<05158>_,

even to the entering in
<0935> (8800)

at the fish
<01709>

gate
<08179>_,

and compassed
<05437> (8804)

about Ophel
<06077>_,

and raised it up
<01361> (8686)

a very great height
<03966>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

captains
<08269>

of war
<02428>

in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{Ophel: or, the tower}

33:15

And he took away
<05493> (8686)

the strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>_,

and the idol
<05566>

out of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all the altars
<04196>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)

in the mount
<02022>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[them] out
<02351>

of the city
<05892>_.

33:16

And he repaired
<01129> (8799)

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

thereon peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>

and thank offerings
<08426>_,

and commanded
<0559> (8799)

Judah
<03063>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:17

Nevertheless
<061>

the people
<05971>

did sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

still in the high places
<01116>_,

[yet] unto the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>

only.

33:18

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

and his prayer
<08605>

unto his God
<0430>_,

and the words
<01697>

of the seers
<02374>

that spake
<01696> (8764)

to him in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

behold, they [are written] in the book
<01697>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.
