2 Kings 21:10-18

10And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, 11Because ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 these abominationsH8441, and hath done wickedlyH7489 above all that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, which were beforeH6440 him, and hath made JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544: 12Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750. 13And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6957 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipethH4229 a dishH6747, wipingH4229 it, and turningH2015 it upside downH6440.1 14And I will forsakeH5203 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall become a preyH957 and a spoilH4933 to all their enemiesH341; 15Because they have doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in my sightH5869, and have provokedH4480 me to angerH3707, since the dayH3117 their fathersH1 came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117. 16Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068.2

17Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and all that he didH6213, and his sinH2403 that he sinnedH2398, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 18And ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the gardenH1588 of his own houseH1004, in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
