2 Kings 21:1-23

21:1

Manasseh
<04519>

[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

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

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

fifty
<02572>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Hephzibah
<02657>_.

21:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

after the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:3

For he built up
<01129> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

the high places
<01116>

which Hezekiah
<02396>

his father
<01>

had destroyed
<06> (8765)_;

and he reared up
<06965> (8686)

altars
<04196>

for Baal
<01168>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

as did
<06213> (8804)

Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them.

21:4

And he built
<01129> (8804)

altars
<04196>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

of which the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

In Jerusalem
<03389>

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>_.

21:5

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>_.

21:6

And he made his son
<01121>

pass
<05674> (8689)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and observed times
<06049> (8782)_,

and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,

and dealt
<06213> (8804)

with familiar spirits
<0178>

and wizards
<03049>_:

he wrought
<06213> (8800)

much
<07235> (8689)

wickedness
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

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

21:7

And he set
<07760> (8799)

a graven image
<06459>

of the grove
<0842>

that he had made
<06213> (8804)

in the house
<01004>_,

of which the LORD
<03068>

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)

out of all tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>

for ever
<05769>_:

21:8

Neither will I make the feet
<07272>

of Israel
<03478>

move
<05110> (8687)

any more
<03254> (8686)

out of the land
<0127>

which I gave
<05414> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_;

only if they will observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

them, and according to all the law
<08451>

that my servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

them.

21:9

But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not: and Manasseh
<04519>

seduced
<08582> (8686)

them to do
<06213> (8800)

more evil
<07451>

than did the nations
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

destroyed
<08045> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:10

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

by
<03027>

his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:11

Because Manasseh
<04519>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

these abominations
<08441>_,

[and] hath done wickedly
<07489> (8689)

above all that the Amorites
<0567>

did
<06213> (8804)_,

which [were] before
<06440>

him, and hath made Judah
<03063>

also to sin
<02398> (8686)

with his idols
<01544>_:

21:12

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Behold, I [am] bringing
<0935> (8688)

[such] evil
<07451>

upon Jerusalem
<03389>

and Judah
<03063>_,

that whosoever heareth
<08085> (8802)

of it, both
<08147>

his ears
<0241>

shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.

21:13

And I will stretch
<05186> (8804)

over Jerusalem
<03389>

the line
<06957>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and the plummet
<04949>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

and I will wipe
<04229> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>

as [a man] wipeth
<04229> (8799)

a dish
<06747>_,

wiping
<04229> (8804)

[it], and turning
<02015> (8804)

[it] upside down
<06440>_.

{wiping...: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}

21:14

And I will forsake
<05203> (8804)

the remnant
<07611>

of mine inheritance
<05159>_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

them into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

and they shall become a prey
<0957>

and a spoil
<04933>

to all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

21:15

Because they have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in my sight
<05869>_,

and have provoked
<04480>

me to anger
<03707> (8688)_,

since the day
<03117>

their fathers
<01>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_.

21:16

Moreover Manasseh
<04519>

shed
<08210> (8804)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

very
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)_,

till he had filled
<04390> (8765)

Jerusalem
<03389>

from one end
<06310>

to another
<06310>_;

beside his sin
<02403>

wherewith he made Judah
<03063>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

in doing
<06213> (8800)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth}

21:17

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his sin
<02403>

that he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

21:18

And Manasseh
<04519>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in the garden
<01588>

of his own house
<01004>_,

in the garden
<01588>

of Uzza
<05798>_:

and Amon
<0526>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

21:19

Amon
<0526>

[was] twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

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

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

two
<08147>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Meshullemeth
<04922>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Haruz
<02743>

of Jotbah
<03192>_.

21:20

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as his father
<01>

Manasseh
<04519>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

21:21

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the way
<01870>

that his father
<01>

walked in
<01980> (8804)_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

the idols
<01544>

that his father
<01>

served
<05647> (8804)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

them:

21:22

And he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

not in the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

21:23

And the servants
<05650>

of Amon
<0526>

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

the king
<04428>

in his own house
<01004>_.
