¶ The .xxxiij. Chapter.
¶ Manasse is taken presoner, and after that he commeth
out, he destroyeth the Idoles. He dyeth, and after
hym succeadeth Amon, whych is kylled of hys
awne people, and Iosias hys sonne raygneth in hys
steade.
A Manasse was .xij. yeare olde note when
he beganne to raygne, ∧ he raygned
.lv. yeare in Ierusal&ebar;: But dyd
euell in the syght of the Lord, lyke
vnto the abhominacions of þe; heathen,
wh&obar; the Lorde cast out before the children
of Israel. For he went to, and buylt the
hylaulter, note which Hezekia hys father had
broken downe. And he rered vp aulters for
Baalim, and made groues, and worshypped
all the hoost of heauen, and serued them.
And he buylt aulters in þe; house of the Lord:
where as the Lorde yet had sayd: note in Ierusal&ebar;
shall my name be for euer. And he buylded
aulters for all the hoost of heauen, in the
two courtes of the house of the Lorde. And
he burnt hys chyldren in fyre, in the valey of
the sonne of Hinn&obar;. He was a sorcerer, he regarded
the cryenge of byrdes, vsed inchauntementes,
and mayntened workers &wt; spretes,
and sears of fortunes: &abar;d wrought moch
euell in the syght of the Lorde, to angre him
with all.
B And he put the kerued ymage ∧ an Idole
which he had made, in the house of God. Of
which house God had sayd to Dauid and to
Salomon his sonne: in this house and in Ierusalem
whych I haue chosen afore all the
trybes of Israell, note wyll I put my name for
euer, and will nomore bryng the seate of Israell
from of the lande which I haue ordeyned
for your fathers. If so be that they wyll
be diligent and do all that I haue commaunded
them in al the lawe, and statutes, and ordinaunces
by the hande of Moses. And so
Manasse made Iuda and the enhabiters of
Ierusalem to erre, and to do worse then the
heathen, whom the Lorde destroyed before
the chyldren of Israell. And the Lorde spake
to Manasse ∧ to hys people, but they wolde
not regarde.
Wherfore, the Lord brought vp&obar; th&ebar; the
captaynes of the host of the kyng of the Assirians,
whych toke Manasse in holde, and
bounde hym with chaynes,
C and caryed hym
to Babylon. And when he was in trybulacion,
he besought the Lord hys God, ∧ humbled
hym selfe exceadyngly before the God
of his fathers, and made intercession to hym
and God was entreated of hym, and hearde
his prayer, and brought hym agayne to Ierusalem
into his kyngdome. And then Manasse
knewe, that the Lorde was God.
Iosia
After this he built a wal without the cytie
of Dauid on the west syde of Gih&obar; in the
valley as they come to the fish gate, ∧ round
about &rhand; Ophel, and brought it vp of a very
great heygth, &abar;d put captaynes of warre
in all the strong cyties of Iuda. And he toke
awaye straunge Gods ∧ ymages out of the
house of God, and note all the aulters that he
had buylt in the mount of the house of God,
and in Ierusalem, and cast them oute of the
cytie. And he prepared the aultar of þe; Lord,
and sacrifyced theron peace offerynges, and
thankoffrynges, and charged Iuda, to serue
the Lord God of Israel. Neuertheles, þe; people
dyd offer styll in the hylaulters, howbeit
vnto the Lorde their God onely.
D The rest of the actes of Manasse, and his
prayer vnto his God, and the wordes of the
sears and of them that spake to hym in the
name of the Lorde God of Israell, beholde,
they are writen in the say&ebar;ges of the kynges
of Israel. And his prayer, and howe that he
was hearde, and all his synnes, and his trespasse,
and the places where he made hylaulters,
and set vp groues, and ymages (before
he was mekened) beholde, they are wrytten
among the sayenges of the sears. And Manasse
slepte with hys fathers, and they buryed
hym in hys awne house: and Amon his
sonne raigned in his rowme. Am&obar; was two
and twenty yeare olde, when he beganne to
raygne, and raygned two yeare in Ierusal&ebar;.
But he did euell in the syght of the Lord, lyke
as dyd Manasse his father, for Amon sacrificed
to all þe; kerued ymages which Manasse
hys father had made, and serued them,
and submitted not him selfe before the Lord
as Manasse hys father had mekened hym
selfe. But Amon trespassed greatly. And his
awne seruauntes conspired agaynst him, &abar;d
slue hym in hys awne house. But the people
of the lande slue all them that had conspyred
agaynst kynge Amon. And the same people
of the lande made Iosia hys sonne kynge in
hys rowme.
