17The people still offered sacrifices at the other altars in the country. But they only offered those sacrifices to the Lord their God. 18The other things that happened while Manasseh was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Israel's kings’. It includes Manasseh's prayer to God. It also includes the messages that the Lord, Israel's God, told his prophets to speak to Manasseh.

He did those things before he made himself humble and he turned back to God. 20Manasseh died and his people buried him in his palace. His son Amon became king after him. 21Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled as king in Jerusalem for two years.
