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.
23
But he never humbled himself before the LORD as Manasseh, his father, humbled himself; to the contrary Amon multiplied the guilt.
24
And his slaves conspired against him and slew him in his own house.
25
But the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah, his son, king in his stead.
