Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold,
and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields,
and for all manner of goodly vessels;
032:028 storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil;
and stalls for all manner of animals, and flocks in folds.
032:029 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and
herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
032:030 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters
of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side
of the city of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
032:031 However in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes
of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was
done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know
all that was in his heart.
032:032 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds,
behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet
the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
032:033 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in
the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death.
Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
033:001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
033:002 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh,
after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out
before the children of Israel.
033:003 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father
had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals,
and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky,
and served them.
033:004 He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said,
In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.
033:005 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts
of the house of Yahweh.
033:006 He also made his children to pass through the fire in
the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery,
and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, and dealt
with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards:
he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke
him to anger.
033:007 He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made,
in the house of God, of which God 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, will I put my name forever:
033:008 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off
the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they
will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all
the law and the statutes and the ordinances [given] by Moses.
