15. He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the Lord’s temple, along with all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the Lord’s temple and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.
16. He built the altar of the Lord and offered fellowship and thank offerings on it. Then he told Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17. However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
18. The rest of the events of Manasseh’s reign, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, are written in the Records of Israel’s Kings.
19. His prayer and how God granted his request, and all his sin and unfaithfulness and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and carved images before he humbled himself, they are written in the Records of Hozai.
20. Manasseh rested with his fathers, and he was buried in his own house. His son Amon became king in his place.
21. Amon was 22 years old when he became king and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, and he served them.
23. But he did not humble himself before the Lord like his father Manasseh humbled himself; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
24. So his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
25. Then the common people executed all those who conspired against King Amon and made his son Josiah king in his place.
