2 Chronicles 33:3-13

3For 1he rebuiltH7725H1129 the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had brokenH5422 downH5422; 2he also erectedH6965 altarsH4196 for the BaalsH1168 and madeH6213 3AsherimH842, and worshipedH7812 allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 and servedH5647 them. 44He builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 of whichH834 the LordH3068 had saidH559, “My nameH8034 shall be 5in JerusalemH3389 foreverH5769.” 5For he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in 6the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 67He made his sonsH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of Ben-hinnomH1121H2011; and he practicedH6049 witchcraftH6049, usedH5172 divinationH5172, practicedH3784 sorceryH3784 and 8dealtH6213 with mediumsH178 and spiritistsH3049. He didH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him to anger. 7Then he putH7760 9the carvedH6459 imageH6459 of the idolH5566 whichH834 he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of whichH834 GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, “10In thisH2088 houseH1004 and in JerusalemH3389, whichH834 I have chosenH977 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, I will putH7760 My nameH8034 foreverH5769; 8and I will not againH3254 removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 from the landH127 11whichH834 I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1, ifH518 onlyH7534 they will observeH8104 to doH6213 allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 them according to allH3605 the lawH8451, the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941 given throughH3027 MosesH4872.” 9Thus ManassehH4519 misledH8582 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to doH6213 moreH4480 evilH7451 thanH4480 the nationsH1471 whomH834 the LordH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH4480H6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

10The LordH3068 spokeH1696 to ManassehH4519 and his peopleH5971, but 12they paidH7181 noH3808 attentionH7181. 1113Therefore the LordH3068 broughtH935 the commandersH8269 of the armyH6635 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 againstH5921 them, and they capturedH3920 ManassehH4519 with 14hooksH2336, 15boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 chains and tookH1980 him to BabylonH894. 12When 16he was in distressH6887, he entreatedH2470 the LordH3068 his GodH430 and 17humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH4480H6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 13When he prayedH6419 to Him, 18He was movedH6279 by his entreatyH6279 and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and broughtH7725 him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 to his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 19knewH3045 that the LordH3068 was GodH430.
