15. And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside the city.
16. Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.
17. Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.
18. But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19. Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.
20. Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, reigned in his place.
21. Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.
22. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.
23. But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.
24. And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.
25. But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
