2 Chronicles 33:10-20
10So the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but 1they paid no attention. 112Therefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, 3bound him with bronze chains, and led him to Babylon. 12When 4he was in distress, he appeased the Lord his God and 5humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13When he prayed to Him, 6He was moved by him and heard his pleading, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh 7knew that the Lord alone is God.
14Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of 8Gihon, in the valley, up to the entrance of the 9Fish Gate; and he encircled the 10Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15He also 11removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, as well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city. 16He set up the altar of the Lord and sacrificed 12peace offerings and thanksgiving offerings on it; and he ordered Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel. 17However, 13the people still sacrificed on the high places, although only to the Lord their God.
18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and 14his prayer to his God, and the words of 15the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings of 16Israel. 19His prayer also and 17how God was moved by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and 18the sites on which he built high places and erected the 19Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the records of 20Hozai. 20So Manasseh 21lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son Amon became king in his place.
