2 Chronicles 33:5-15
5He builtH1129 altarsH4196 for allH3605 the heavenlyH8064 1lightsH6635 in 2the twoH8147 courtyardsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 63He also made his sonsH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784 in the ValleyH1516 of Ben-hinnomH1121H2011; and he practicedH6049 witchcraftH6049, usedH5172 divinationH5172, practicedH3784 sorceryH3784, and 4dealtH6213 with mediumsH178 and spiritistsH3049. He didH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him to angerH3707. 7Then he putH7760 5the carvedH6459 imageH6459 of the idolH5566 whichH834 he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of whichH834 GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and his sonH1121 SolomonH8010, “6In 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 removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 from the landH127 7whichH834 I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1, ifH518 onlyH7534 they will takeH8104 careH8104 to doH6213 everythingH3605 that I have commandedH6680 them according to allH3605 the LawH8451, the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941 given throughH3027 MosesH4872.” 9So ManassehH4519 encouragedH8582 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to doH6213 moreH4480 evilH7451 thanH4480 the nationsH1471 whomH834 the LordH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH4480H6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.
10So the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to ManassehH4519 and his peopleH5971, but 8they paidH7181 noH3808 attentionH7181. 119Therefore the LordH3068 broughtH935 the commandersH8269 of the armyH6635 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 againstH5921 them, and they capturedH3920 ManassehH4519 with hooksH2336, 10boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 chains, and ledH1980 him to BabylonH894. 12When 11he was in distressH6887, he appeasedH2470 the LordH3068 his GodH430 and 12humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH4480H6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 13When he prayedH6419 to Him, 13He was movedH6279 by him and heardH8085 his pleadingH8467, and broughtH7725 him backH7725 to JerusalemH3389 to his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 14knewH3045 that the LordH3068 alone is GodH430.
14Now afterH310 thisH3651 he builtH1129 the outerH2435 wallH2346 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 on the westH4628 sideH4628 of 15GihonH1521, in the valleyH5158, up to the entranceH935 of the 16FishH1709 GateH8179; and he encircledH5437 the 17OphelH6077 with it and madeH1361 it veryH3966 highH1361. Then he putH7760 armyH2428 commandersH8269 in allH3605 the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063. 15He also 18removedH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 and the idolH5566 from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, as well as allH3605 the altarsH4196 whichH834 he had builtH1129 on the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and in JerusalemH3389, and he threwH7993 them outsideH2351 the cityH5892.
