2 Chronicles 33:11-17

11SoH3068 the LORD broughtH935 against themH5921 the militaryH6635 commandersH8269 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, who capturedH3920 ManassehH4519, put a hook in his noseH2336, bound himH631 with bronze shacklesH5178, and took himH1980 to BabylonH894. 12And in his distressH6887, Manasseh soughtH2470 the favorH6440 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 and earnestlyH3966 humbled himselfH3665 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 13And when he prayedH6419 to HimH413, the LORD received his pleaH6279 and heardH8085 his petitionH8467. So He brought him backH7725 to JerusalemH3389 and to his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068H1931 is GodH430.

14AfterH310 thisH3651, Manasseh rebuiltH1129 the outerH2435 wallH2346 of the CityH5892 of DavidH1732 from westH4628 of GihonH1521 in the valleyH5158 to the entranceH935 of the FishH1709 GateH8179, and he brought it aroundH5437 the hill of OphelH6077 and heightened itH1361 considerablyH3966. He also stationedH7760 militaryH2428 commandersH8269 in allH3605 the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.

15He removedH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 and the idolH5566 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, along with allH3605 the altarsH4196 he had builtH1129 on the templeH1004 mountH20221 and in JerusalemH3389, and he dumped themH7993 outsideH2351 the cityH5892. 16Then he restoredH3559 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 and sacrificedH2076 peace offeringsH8002 and thankH8426 offeringsH2077 on itH5921, and he toldH559 JudahH3063 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 17NeverthelessH61, the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 at the high placesH1116, but onlyH7535 to the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
