12
And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13
and when he prayed unto him, he was heard; for he heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD
was God.
14
Now after this he built the wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entrance of the fish gate, and fenced Ophel and raised it up to a very great height and put captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Judah.
15
Likewise, he took away the strange gods and the idol out of the house of the LORD and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem and cast
them out of the city.
16
And he repaired the altar of the LORD and sacrificed upon it sacrifices of peace and of praise and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
17
Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed in the high places,
yet unto the LORD their God only.
18
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they
are written in the acts of the kings of Israel.
19
His prayer also and how he was heard, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places upon which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he humbled himself; behold, these things are written among the words of the seers.
20
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon, his son, reigned in his stead.
21
Amon
was twenty-two years old when he began to reign and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22
But he did
that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done, for Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh, his father, had made, and served them.
