16. And he rebuilt the Mizbe'ach Hashem, and sacrificed thereon zivkhei shelamim and todah, and commanded Yehudah to serve Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
17. Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, albeit unto Hashem Eloheihem.
18. Now the rest of the acts of Menasheh, and his tefillah unto Elohav, and the divrei HaChozim that spoke to him b'Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel, hinei, they are written in the annals of the Melachim of Yisroel.
19. His tefillah also, and how He was entreated of him, and all his chattat, and his unfaithfulness, and the mekomot (sites, places) wherein he built high places, and set up Asherim and pesilim, before he was humbled; hinei, they are written among the records of Chozai.
20. So Menasheh slept with Avotav, and they buried him in his own bais; and Amon bno reigned in his place.
21. Amon was 22 shanah when he began to reign, and reigned two shanim in Yerushalayim.
22. But he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem, as did Menasheh Aviv, for Amon sacrificed unto all the pesilim (idols) which Menasheh Aviv had made, and served them;
23. And humbled not himself before Hashem, as Menasheh Aviv had humbled himself; but Amon increased more and more in ashmah.
24. And his avadim made a kesher against him, assassinated him in his own bais.
25. But the am ha'aretz slaughtered all them that had made the kesher against HaMelech Amon; and the am ha'aretz made Yoshiyahu (Josiah) bno Melech in his place.
