Chap. XXXIII.
note
Manasses for his manifold wickednes is led captiue into Babylon. 12. repenteth
in prison, is restored to his kingdom, and destroyeth idolatrie: 18. dieth, 21.
& Amon succeding, 24. is slayne by his seruantes, and Iosias reigneth.
1 Twelve yeares old was Manasses when he began to
reigne, and he reigned fiftie fiue yeares in Ierusalem.
2 And he did euil before our Lord, according to al the abominations
of the nations, which our Lord ouerthrew before
the children of Israel:
3 and being turned, he reedified the
excelses which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he
built altars to Baalim, and made groues, and he adored al the
host of heauen, and worshipped it.
4 He built also altars in
the house of our Lord, wherof our Lord had sayd: In Ierusalem
shal my name be for euer.
5 And he built them to al the
host of heauen in the two courtes of the house of our Lord.
6 And he made his sonnes to passe through fyre, to the Valebenennom:
he obserued dreames, folowed southsayings,
gaue him self to magike artes, he had with him magicians, &
inchaunters: and he wrought manie euils before our Lord, to
prouoke him.
7 Also a grauen, and a molten signe he put in
the house of God, wherof our Lord spake to Dauid, and to
Salomon his sonne, saying: In this house, and in Ierusalem,
which I haue chosen al the tribes of Israel, Wil I put my

Manasses. Amon.
name for euer,
8 And I wil not make the foote of Israel to
moue out of the land, which I haue deliuered to their fathers:
yet so if they shal obserue to doe that I haue commanded
them, and al the law, and the ceremonies, and iudgementes
by the hand of Moyses.
9 Manasses therfore seduced Iuda,
and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem, that they did euil aboue al
the nations, which our Lord had ouerthrowen before the
face of the children of Israel.
10 And our Lord spake to him,
and to his people, and they would not attend.
11 Therfore he
brought vpon them the princes of the host of the king of the
Assyrians: and they tooke Manasses, & led him bound with
chaynes, and fetters into Babylon.
12 Who after that he was
in distresse, prayed our Lord his God: and did penance excedingly
before the God of his fathers.
13 And he desired him,
and besought him earnestly: note and he heard his prayer, and
brought him agayne to Ierusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses
knew that our Lord he was God.
14 After these thinges
he built a wal without the citie of Dauid, on the west of
Gihon in the valley, from the entrance of the fish gate round
about vnto Ophel, and raysed it excedingly: and he appoynted
princes of the host in al the fensed cities of Iuda:
15 and
he tooke away strange goddes, and the idol out of the house
of our Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount
of the house of our Lord, and in Ierusalem, and he threw al
without the citie.
16 Moreouer he reedified the altar of our
Lord, and immolated vpon it victimes, and pacifiques, and
prayse: and he commanded Iuda to serue our Lord the God
of Israel.
17 Neuerthelesse as yet the people immolated in the
excelses to our Lord their God.
18 But the rest of the actes of
Manasses: and his obsecration to his God: the wordes also of
the Seers, that spake to him in the name of our Lord the God
of Israel, are conteyned in the wordes of the kinges of Israel.
19 His note prayer also, and his obtayning, and al his sinnes,
and contempt, the places also wherein he built excelses, and
made groues, and statues before he did penance, are writen
in the wordes of Hozai.
20 Manasses therfore slept with his
fathers, and they buried him in his house: & his sonne Amon
reigned for him.
21 Ammon was two and twentie yeares old
when he began to reigne, and he reigned two yeares in Ierusalem.
22 And he did euil in the sight of our Lord, as Manasses
his father had done: and he immolated to al the idols, which
-- --
Iosias.
Manasses his father had made, and serued them.
23 And he
did not reuerence the face our Lord, as Manasses his father
did reuerence it, and he committed farre greater sinnes.
24 And when his seruantes had conspired agaynst him, they
slewe him in his owne house.
25 Moreouer the rest of the
multitude of the people, hauing slaine them that stroke
Amon, made Iosias his sonne king for him.
