14
I will abandon the people who survive, and will hand them over to their enemies, who will conquer them and plunder their land.
15
I will do this to my people because they have sinned against me and have stirred up my anger from the time their ancestors came out of Egypt to this day."
16
Manasseh killed so many innocent people that the streets of Jerusalem were flowing with blood; he did this in addition to leading the people of Judah into idolatry, causing them to sin against the Lord.
17
Everything else that Manasseh did, including the sins he committed, is recorded in [The History of the Kings of Judah.]
18
Manasseh died and was buried in the palace garden, the garden of Uzza, and his son Amon succeeded him as king.
19
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz from the town of Jotbah.
20
Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord;
21
he imitated his father's actions, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped.
22
He rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and disobeyed the Lord's commands.
23
Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace.
24
The people of Judah killed Amon's assassins and made his son Josiah king.
