00:00.000 --> 00:06.700
Chapter 21 Manasseh was twelve years old
when he began to reign, and reigned fifty

00:06.700 --> 00:08.000
and five years in Jerusalem.

00:09.000 --> 00:10.580
And his mother's name was Hephzibah.

00:11.240 --> 00:15.400
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, after the abominations

00:15.400 --> 00:19.040
of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out
before the children of Israel.

00:19.940 --> 00:24.140
For he built up again the high places
which Hezekiah his father had destroyed.

00:24.700 --> 00:29.680
And he reared up altars for Baal,
and made a grove, as did Ahab king of

00:29.680 --> 00:34.020
Israel, and worshipped all the hosts of
heaven, and served them.

00:34.920 --> 00:39.600
And he built altars in the house of the
Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem

00:39.600 --> 00:41.280
will I put my name.

00:41.420 --> 00:45.560
And he built altars for all the hosts of
heaven in the two courts of the house of

00:45.560 --> 00:45.900
the Lord.

00:46.640 --> 00:51.780
And he made his son pass through the fire,
and observed times, and used enchantments,

00:52.160 --> 00:54.320
and dealt with familiar spirits and
wizards.

00:54.320 --> 00:58.660
He wrought much wickedness in the sight of
the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

00:59.340 --> 01:02.680
And he set a graven image of the grove
that he had made in the house,

01:03.180 --> 01:07.440
of which the Lord said to David,
and to Solomon his son, In this house,

01:07.760 --> 01:12.720
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out
of all tribes of Israel, will I put my

01:12.720 --> 01:13.400
name forever.

01:14.400 --> 01:18.640
Neither will I make the feet of Israel
move any more out of the land which I gave

01:18.640 --> 01:23.380
their fathers, only if they will observe
to do according to all that I have

01:23.380 --> 01:28.520
commanded them, and according to all the
law that my servant Moses commanded them.

01:29.240 --> 01:33.760
But they hearkened not, and Manasseh
seduced them to do more evil than did the

01:33.760 --> 01:36.580
nations whom the Lord destroyed before the
children of Israel.

01:37.260 --> 01:42.380
And the Lord spake by his servants the
prophets, saying, Because Manasseh king of

01:42.380 --> 01:46.360
Judah hath done these abominations,
and hath done wickedly above all that the

01:46.360 --> 01:50.580
Amorites did which were before him,
and hath made Judah also to sin with his

01:50.580 --> 01:56.860
idols, therefore thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil

01:56.860 --> 02:03.000
upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever
heareth of it, both his ears shall tinkle.

02:03.540 --> 02:08.660
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line
of Samaria, and the plummet of the house

02:08.660 --> 02:09.340
of Ahab.

02:09.840 --> 02:15.300
And I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth
a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside

02:15.300 --> 02:15.820
down.

02:16.540 --> 02:20.920
And I will forsake the remnant of mine
inheritance, and deliver them into the

02:20.920 --> 02:21.820
hand of their enemies.

02:22.420 --> 02:27.440
And they shall become a prey and a spoil
to all their enemies, because they have

02:27.440 --> 02:31.580
done that which was evil in my sight,
and have provoked me to anger,

02:31.920 --> 02:36.040
since the day their fathers came forth out
of Egypt, even unto this day.

02:36.480 --> 02:41.080
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very
much, till he had filled Jerusalem from

02:41.080 --> 02:42.240
one end to another.

02:43.460 --> 02:48.460
Beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to
sin, in doing that which was evil in the

02:48.460 --> 02:49.280
sight of the Lord.

02:50.380 --> 02:54.220
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh,
and all that he did, and his sin that he

02:54.220 --> 02:58.060
sinned, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

02:59.480 --> 03:03.520
And Manasseh slept with his fathers,
and was buried in the garden of his own

03:03.520 --> 03:05.320
house, in the garden of Uzzah.

03:05.840 --> 03:08.260
And Ammon his son reigned in his stead.

03:09.820 --> 03:14.260
Ammon was twenty and two years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned two years

03:14.260 --> 03:14.840
in Jerusalem.

03:15.600 --> 03:20.120
And his mother's name was Meshulameth,
the daughter of Heraz of Jotba.

03:20.800 --> 03:24.940
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh

03:24.940 --> 03:25.120
did.

03:25.800 --> 03:29.760
And he walked in all the way that his
father walked in, and served the idols

03:29.760 --> 03:31.940
that his father served, and worshipped
them.

03:32.560 --> 03:36.980
And he forsook the Lord God of his
fathers, and walked not in the way of the

03:36.980 --> 03:37.220
Lord.

03:38.240 --> 03:42.520
And the servants of Ammon conspired
against him, and slew the king in his own

03:42.520 --> 03:42.920
house.

03:43.600 --> 03:47.740
And the people of the land slew all them
that had conspired against king Ammon.

03:48.320 --> 03:52.040
And the people of the land made Josiah his
son king in his stead.

03:52.740 --> 03:56.820
Now the rest of the acts of Ammon which he
did, are they not written in the book of

03:56.820 --> 03:58.260
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

03:58.940 --> 04:04.340
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the
garden of Uzzah, and Josiah his son

04:04.340 --> 04:05.720
reigned in his stead.
