2 Kings 21:12-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

12. therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13. I will stretch over Jerusalem the 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. I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, and they will become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies;

15. because they have done evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger since the day their fathers came from Egypt, even to this day.'"

16. Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord.

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

18. And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place.

19. Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20. He did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.

21. For he walked in all the way that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them.

22. So he forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, 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.
