I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies;
15
they have done evil in my eyes and have aroused my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”
16
Moreover, Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin that he had caused Judah to commit, so that they did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
17
As for the other events of Manasseh’s reign, and all he did, including the sin he committed, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
18
Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
Amon King of Judah
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.
20
He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
21
He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them.
22
He forsook the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in obedience to him.
23
Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated the king in his palace.
24
Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
