in the house of which Yahweh 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;
021:008 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out
of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will
observe to do according to all that I have commanded them,
and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
021:009 But they didn't listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that
which is evil more than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed
before the children of Israel.
021:010 Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
021:011 Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations,
and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were
before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols;
021:012 therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Behold, I bring
such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it,
both his ears shall tingle.
021:013 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet
of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man
wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
021:014 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver
them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become
a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
021:015 because they have done that which is evil in my sight,
and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers
came forth out of Egypt, even to this day.
021:016 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin
with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil
in the sight of Yahweh.
021:017 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did,
and his sin that he sinned, aren't they written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
021:018 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden
of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son
reigned in his place.
021:019 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name
was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
021:020 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did
Manasseh his father.
021:021 He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served
the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:
021:022 and he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn't walk
in the way of Yahweh.
021:023 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king
to death in his own house.
021:024 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired
