¶ The .xxi. Chapter.
¶ Wycked Manasseh restoreth agayne the Idolles
and after dyeth, in whose steade Am&obar; hys sonne succedeth,
which is kylled of hys awne seruauntes. After
hym raygneth faythfull Iosia, whom we vse to call
Iosias, or Iosiahu.
A Manasse note was twelue yere olde,
when he beganne to raygne and
raygned fyfty ∧ fyue yere in Ierusal&ebar;:
hys mothers name also was
Hephziba. And he dyd euell in the
syght of the Lorde, euen after the abhominacyons
of the Hethen whom the note Lorde
cast out before the chyldren of Israel. For he
went and buylt vp the hyllaulters, note which
Hezekia hys father had destroyed. And he
reared vp aulters for Baal, and made Idoll
groues (as dyd Ahab kynge of Israel,) and
worshypped all the Hoste of heauen, and serued
them. And he buylt aulters in the house
of the Lorde, of which the Lorde sayde: note in
Ierusal&ebar; wyll I put my name. And he buylt
aulters for all the Host of heauen, eu&ebar; in two
courtes of the house of the Lorde. noteAnd
he offered hys sonnes in fyre, and gaue hede
vnto witchcraft and sorcery, and mayntened
workers with spretes, and tellers of fortunes:
and brought moche wyckednesse in the
syght of the Lorde to angre hym.
B And he put an ymage of a groue (that he
had made) euen in the temple, of which the
Lorde had sayde to Dauid and to Salomon
his sonne, note in thys house and in Ierusalem
-- --
Manasse
(which I haue chosen out of all trybes of
Israel) wyll I put my name for euer. Nether
will I make the fete of Israel moue any
moare out of the lande, which I gaue theyr
fathers: so that they wyll obserue and do all
that I haue commaunded them, and accordynge
to all the lawe that my seruaunt Moses
commaunded them. But they herkened
not: and Manasse ledd them out of the waye
to do more wyckedlye then dyd the hethen
people, whom the Lord destroyed before the
chyldren of Israel.
And the Lorde spake by his seruauntes þe;
prophetes, sayinge: because Manasse kynge
of Iuda hath done soche abhominaci&obar;s, and
hath wrought more wyckedlye then all that
the Amorites (which were before hym) dyd:
∧ hath made Iuda synne also with hys Idoles.
Therfore thus sayth the Lorde God of
Israel. noteBeholde, I wyll brynge soche euell
vpon Ierusalem and Iuda, that who so heareth
of it both his eares shall tyngle.
C And I
wyll stretch ouer Ierusal&ebar; &rhand; the squaryng
lyne of Samaria, and the plommeth of the
house of Ahab. And I wyll wype out Ierusalem,
as a m&abar; wypeth a disshe, and when he
hath wyped it, turneth it vp syde downe.
And I wyll leaue the remnaunt of myne enheritaunce,
and delyuer them into the hande
of theyr enemies, and they shalbe robbed and
spoyled of all their aduersaries: euen because
they haue done euell in my syght, ∧ haue angred
me, sence the tyme theyr fathers came
out of Egypte vnto this daye.
And Manasse shedd innocent bloude exceadynge
moche, tyll he replenisshed Ierusalem
from corner to corner, besyde hys synne
wherwith he made Iuda to synne, and to do
euell in the syght of the Lorde.
The rest of the wordes þt; concerne Manasse,
and all that he dyd, and hys synne that
he synned,
D are they not written in the boke of
the chronicles of the kynges of Iuda? And
Manasse slepte with hys fathers, and was
buryed in his awne house, eu&ebar; in the gard&ebar; of
Uza: ∧ Am&obar; his sonne raygned in hys steade.
noteAmon was .xxii. yeare olde wh&ebar; he beganne
to raygne, and he raygned two yeare
in Ierusalem. Hys mothers name also was
Mesulemeth the daughter of Harum of Iotba.
And he did euell in the syght of the Lorde
(as his father Manasse dyd,) and walked in
all the waye þt; his father walked in: ∧ serued
the ydoles þt; his father serued, ∧ worshypped
th&ebar;. And he forsoke the Lorde God of hys fathers,
∧ walked not in the waye of the Lorde.
And the seruauntes of Amon conspyred
agaynst hym, and slue the kyng in hys awne
house. And the people of the lande slue all th&ebar;
that had conspyred agaynst kynge Amon, ∧
the people made Iosia hys sonne kynge, in
hys steade. The rest of the wordes that concerne
Iosia
Amon, what thynges he dyd, are they
not wrytten in the boke of the chronicles of
the kynges of Iuda? And they buryed hym
in hys sepulchre, in the garden of Uza: ∧ Iosia
hys sonne raygned in hys steade.
