2 Kings 21:12-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle!

13. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14. And I will cast off the rest of My inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies,

15. For they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger since their fathers came out of Egypt to this day.

16. Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, filling Jerusalem from one end to another–besides his sin in making Judah sin, by doing evil in the sight of the Lord! [II Chron. 33:1-10.]

17. The rest of the acts of Manasseh, all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

18. Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son reigned in his stead.

19. Amon was twenty-two years old when he began his two-year reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20. [But] he also did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. [II Kings 23:26, 27; 24:3, 4.]

21. He walked in all the ways of his father; and he served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;

22. He forsook the Lord, the God of his [forefathers], and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

23. The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.

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

25. The rest of the acts of Amon, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
