Amplified Bible

2 Chronicles 33:15-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

15. And he took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the house of the Lord and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city.

16. And he restored the Lord's altar and sacrificed on it offerings of peace and of thanksgiving; and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.

17. Yet the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

18. Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

19. His prayer and how God heard him, and all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and graven images before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.

20. So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house [garden]. And Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21. Amon was twenty-two years old when he began his two-year reign in Jerusalem.

22. But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father; for Amon sacrificed to all the images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them,

23. And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father [finally] did; but Amon trespassed and became more and more guilty.

24. And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his own house.

25. But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his stead.
