2 Chronicles 33:12-22

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.

18As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, along with his prayerH8605 toH413 his GodH430 and the wordsH1697 of the seersH2374 who spokeH1696 to himH413 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, they are indeedH2005 written inH5921 the ChroniclesH1697 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.2 19His prayerH8605 and how God received his pleaH6279, as well as allH3605 his sinH2403 and unfaithfulnessH4604, and the sitesH4725 whereH834 he builtH1129 high placesH1116 and set upH5975 Asherah polesH842 and idolsH6456 beforeH6440 he humbled himselfH3665, they are indeedH2005 writtenH3789 inH5921 the RecordsH1697 of the SeersH2335.3 20And ManassehH4519 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 at his palaceH1004. And his sonH1121 AmonH526 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

21AmonH526 was twenty-twoH6242H8147 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 twoH8147 yearsH8141. 22And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, asH834 his fatherH1 ManassehH4519 had doneH6213.

AmonH526 servedH5647 and sacrificedH2076 to allH3605 the idolsH6456 thatH834 his fatherH1 ManassehH4519 had madeH6213,
