2 Chronicles 33:3-13

3For he builtH1129 again the highH1116 placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had brokenH5422 downH7812; and he reared up altarsH4196 for the Baalim, and madeH6213 Asheroth, and worshipped all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. 4And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 shall my nameH8034 beH1961 for everH5769. 5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courts of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 6He also madeH6213 his children to passH5674 through the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011; and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 7And he setH7760 the graven imageH6459 of the idolH6459, which he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of which GodH430 saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosen out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for ever: 8neither will I any more removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 from off the landH127 which I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1, if onlyH7535 they will observeH8104 to do all that I have commandedH6680 them, even all the lawH8451 and the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941 given by MosesH4872. 9And ManassehH4519 seduced JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, so that they did evilH7451 moreH4480 than did the nationsH1471 whom Jehovah destroyedH8045 before the children of IsraelH3478.

10And Jehovah spake to ManassehH4519, and to his peopleH5971; but they gave no heed. 11Wherefore Jehovah broughtH935 upon them the captains of the hostH6635 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, who tookH3920 ManassehH4519 in chains, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178, and carried him to BabylonH894. 12And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatly before the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 13And he prayedH6419 unto him; and he was entreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and broughtH7725 him again to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that Jehovah he was GodH430.
