00:00.000 --> 00:05.320
Chapter 33 Manasseh was twelve years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned

00:05.320 --> 00:06.820
fifty and five years in Jerusalem.

00:07.620 --> 00:11.660
But did that which was evil in the sight
of the Lord, like unto the abominations of

00:11.660 --> 00:15.140
the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out
before the children of Israel.

00:15.840 --> 00:19.560
For he built again the high places which
Hezekiah his father had broken down,

00:20.080 --> 00:24.560
and he reared up altars for Baalim,
and made groves, and worshipped all the

00:24.560 --> 00:26.120
hosts of heaven, and served them.

00:26.880 --> 00:30.480
Also he built altars in the house of the
Lord, whereof the Lord had said,

00:31.340 --> 00:33.840
In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

00:34.700 --> 00:38.260
And he built altars for all the hosts of
heaven in the two courts of the house of

00:38.260 --> 00:38.560
the Lord.

00:39.160 --> 00:42.680
And he caused his children to pass through
the fire in the valley of the son of

00:42.680 --> 00:42.920
Hinnom.

00:43.700 --> 00:47.440
Also he observed times, and used
enchantments, and used witchcraft,

00:47.600 --> 00:50.360
and dealt with a familiar spirit,
and with wizards.

00:50.940 --> 00:54.380
He wrought much evil in the sight of the
Lord, to provoke him to anger.

00:55.060 --> 00:59.420
And he set a carved image, the idol which
he had made, in the house of God,

00:59.880 --> 01:04.380
of which God had said to David and to
Solomon his son, In this house and in

01:04.380 --> 01:09.440
Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all
the tribes of Israel, will I put my name

01:09.440 --> 01:09.940
for ever.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.120
Neither will I any more remove the foot of
Israel from out of the land which I have

01:15.120 --> 01:19.660
appointed for your fathers, so that they
will take heed to do all that I have

01:19.660 --> 01:24.280
commanded them, according to the whole
law, and the statutes, and the ordinances

01:24.280 --> 01:25.940
by the hand of Moses.

01:26.700 --> 01:31.280
So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than

01:31.280 --> 01:34.260
the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed
before the children of Israel.

01:34.940 --> 01:38.700
And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his
people, but they would not hearken.

01:39.440 --> 01:42.580
Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the
captains of the host of the king of

01:42.580 --> 01:46.660
Assyria, which took Manasseh among the
thorns, and bound him with fetters,

01:47.080 --> 01:48.080
and carried him to Babylon.

01:48.960 --> 01:52.520
And when he was in affliction,
he besought the Lord his God, and humbled

01:52.520 --> 01:55.860
himself greatly before the God of his
fathers, and prayed unto him.

01:56.360 --> 02:00.320
And he was entreated of him, and heard his
supplication, and brought him again to

02:00.320 --> 02:01.740
Jerusalem, into his kingdom.

02:02.480 --> 02:04.920
Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was
God.

02:05.940 --> 02:10.420
Now after this he built a wall without the
city of David, on the west side of Gihon,

02:10.700 --> 02:15.220
in the valley, even to the entering inn at
the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel,

02:15.620 --> 02:19.540
and raised it up a very great height,
and put captains of war in all the fenced

02:19.540 --> 02:20.280
cities of Judah.

02:20.980 --> 02:24.900
And he took away the strange gods,
and the idol out of the house of the Lord,

02:24.900 --> 02:28.160
and all the altars that he had built in
the mount of the house of the Lord,

02:28.400 --> 02:31.200
and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the
city.

02:31.900 --> 02:36.040
And he repaired the altar of the Lord,
and sacrificed thereon peace offerings,

02:36.240 --> 02:40.060
and thank offerings, and commanded Judah
to serve the Lord God of Israel.

02:40.860 --> 02:45.840
Nevertheless, the people did sacrifice
still in the high places, yet unto the

02:45.840 --> 02:46.760
Lord their God only.

02:47.960 --> 02:52.340
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh,
and his prayer unto his God, and the words

02:52.340 --> 02:56.260
of the seers that spake to him in the name
of the Lord God of Israel, behold,

02:56.620 --> 02:58.760
they are written in the book of the kings
of Israel.

02:59.880 --> 03:04.700
His prayer also, and how God was entreated
of him, and all his sin, and his trespass,

03:05.140 --> 03:08.980
and the places wherein he built high
places, and set up groves and graven

03:08.980 --> 03:10.640
images, before he was humbled.

03:11.540 --> 03:14.480
Behold, they are written among the sayings
of the seers.

03:15.400 --> 03:18.800
So Manasseh slept with his fathers,
and they buried him in his own house,

03:19.340 --> 03:21.720
and Ammon his son reigned in his stead.

03:22.620 --> 03:27.120
Ammon was two and twenty years old when he
began to reign, and reigned two years in

03:27.120 --> 03:27.520
Jerusalem.

03:28.680 --> 03:32.260
But he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his

03:32.260 --> 03:32.560
father.

03:33.120 --> 03:37.340
For Ammon sacrificed unto all the carved
images, which Manasseh his father had

03:37.340 --> 03:38.980
made, and served them.

03:39.820 --> 03:43.840
And humbled not himself before the Lord,
as Manasseh his father had humbled

03:43.840 --> 03:44.260
himself.

03:45.120 --> 03:49.940
But Ammon trespassed more and more,
and his servants conspired against him,

03:49.940 --> 03:51.940
and slew him in his own house.

03:52.980 --> 03:56.580
But the people of the land slew all them
that had conspired against king Ammon,

03:57.020 --> 04:00.380
and the people of the land made Josiah his
son king in his stead.
