1
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3
And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
