Chap. XXI.
For the enormious impietie of Manasses, 10. God threatneth destruction of
the kingdom. 16. He spilleth innocent bloud, 18. dieth, and his sonne
Amon reigneth also wickedly: 23. is slaine by his seruantes, and his sonne
Iosias reigneth.
1 Twelve yeares old was Manasses, when he began to
reigne, & he reigned fiue and fiftie yeares in Ierusalem:
the name of his mother was haphsiba.
2 And he did euil in
the sight of our Lord, acording to the idols of the Nations,
which our Lord destroyed from the face of the children of
Israel.
3 And he was turned, and built the excelses, which
Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he sette vp altars to
Baal, and made groues, as Achab the king of Israel had done:
and he adored al the host of heauen, and worshipped it.
-- --
Manasses.
4 And he built altars in the house of our Lord, of the which
our Lord sayd: In Ierusalem I wil put my name.
5 And he
built altars to al the host of heauen in the two courtes of the
temple of our Lord.
6 And he made his sonne passe through
fyre: and he vsed soothsaying, and obserued diuinations, and
made pithones, and multiplied inchanters, to doe euil before
our Lord, and to prouoke him.
7 He sette also the idol of the
groue, which he had made in the temple of our Lord: concerning
the which our Lord spake to Dauid, and to Salomon
his sonne: In this temple, and in Ierusalem, which I haue
chosen out of al the tribes of Israel, I wil put my name for
euer.
8 And I wil noe more make the foote of Israel to be
moued out of the land, which I gaue to their fathers: yet so
if in worke they shal keepe al things, that I haue commanded
them, al the law which my seruantes Moyses commanded
them.
9 But they heard not: but were seduced by Manasses,
to doe euil note aboue the Nations, which our Lord destroyed
before the face of the children of Israel.
10 And our Lord
spake in the hand of his seruantes the prophetes, saying:
11 Because Manasses the king of Iuda hath done these most
wicked abominations, passing al thinges that the Amorrheites
did before him, and hath made Iuda also to sinne in
his filthes:
12 therfore thus sayth our Lord the God of Israel:
Behold I wil bring in euils vpon Ierusalem and Iuda: that
whosoeuer shal heare it, both his eares shal tingle.
13 And
I wil stretch out vpon Ierusalem the corde of Samaria, and
the weight of the house of Achab: and I wil wipe out Ierusalem,
as tables are wont to be wiped out, and wyping out I wil
turne it, and draw often the pencil vpon the face therof.
14 noteBut I wil leaue remnantes of mine inheritance, and wil
deliuer them into the handes of their enemies: and they shalbe
vnto waste, and vnto spoile to al their aduersaries:
15 because
they haue done euil before me, and haue continewed prouoking
me, from the day that their fathers came out of Ægypt,
vntil this day.
16 Moreouer Manasses shed also innocent
bloud exceding much til he filled Ierusalem euen to the
mouth: beside his sinnes, wherin he made Iuda to sinne, to
doe euil before our Lord.
17 But the rest of the wordes of
Manasses, and al that he did, and his sinne, which he sinned,
are not these thinges written in the Booke of the wordes of
the dayes of the kinges of Iuda?
18 And Manasses slept with
-- --
Amon. Iosias.
his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, in
the garden of Oza: and Amon his sonne reigned for him.
19 Two and twentie yeares old was Amon when he began
to reigne: two yeares also he reigned in Ierusalem: the
name of his mother was Messalemeth the daughter of Ieteba.
20 And he did euil in the sight of our Lord, as Manasses
his father had done.
21 And he walked in al the way, by the
which his father had walked: and he serued the filthes, which
his father had serued, and he adored them,
22 and forsooke
our Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the
way of our Lord.
23 And his seruantes lay in wayte agaynst
him, and slewe the king in his house.
24 But the people of
the land stroke al them, that had conspired agaynst king
Amon: and made Iosias his sonne their king for him.
25 But
the rest of the wordes of Amon which he did, are not these
writen in the Booke of the wordes of the dayes of the kinges
of Iuda?
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre, in the
garden of Oza: and Iosias his sonne reigned for him.
