The Scriptures 1998

2 Chronicles 33:14-25 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. And after this he built a wall outside the City of Dawiḏ on the west of Giḥon, in the wadi, and as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate, and it went round Ophel, and he made it exceedingly high. And he put army commanders in all the walled cities of Yehuḏah.

15. And he removed the foreign mighty ones and the idol from the House of יהוה, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the House of יהוה and in Yerushalayim, and he threw them out of the city.

16. And he built the altar of יהוה, and brought peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and ordered Yehuḏah to serve יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.

17. But the people were still offering on the high places, though only to יהוה their Elohim.

18. And the rest of the acts of Menashsheh, his prayer to his Elohim, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the Name of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, see, they are written in the book of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl.

19. And his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places where he built high places and set up the Ashĕrim and the carved images, before he was humbled, see, they are written among the words of the seers.

20. So Menashsheh 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 began to reign, and he reigned two years in Yerushalayim.

22. But he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, as his father Menashsheh had done. And Amon offered to all the carved images which his father Menashsheh had made, and served them.

23. And he did not humble himself before יהוה, as his father Menashsheh had humbled himself, for Amon trespassed more and more.

24. And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his own house.

25. But the people of the land smote all those who had conspired against Sovereign Amon, and the people of the land set up his son Yoshiyahu to reign in his place.
