12. When he was in distress, he begged the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13. He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
14. Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15. He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the Lord’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the Lord’s house, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16. He built up the Lord’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.
17. Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18. Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and 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, behold, they are written amongst the acts of the kings of Israel.
19. His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20. So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21. Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22. He did that which was evil in the Lord’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23. He didn’t humble himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24. His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25. But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
