17. Though the people continued to sacrifice on the high places, they now did so to the Lord, their God.
18. The rest of the acts of Manasseh, 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, are written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
19. His prayer and how his supplication was heard, all his sins and his treachery, the sites where he built high places and set up asherahs and carved images before he humbled himself, all this is recorded in the chronicles of his seers.
20. Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his own palace. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
21. Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon offered sacrifice to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and served them.
23. Moreover, he did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; on the contrary, Amon only increased his guilt.
24. His officials plotted against him and put him to death in his palace,
25. but the people of the land then slew all who had plotted against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his stead.
