Settings

11 1Therefore the LORD brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, 2bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
12 When 3he was in distress, he entreated the LORD his God and 4humbled himself greatly before * the God of his fathers.
13 When he prayed to Him, 5He was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh 6knew that the LORD was God.
14 Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of 7Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the 8Fish Gate; and he encircled the 9Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 He also 10removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, as well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.
16 He set up the altar of the LORD and sacrificed 11peace offerings and thank offerings on it; and he ordered Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
17 Nevertheless 12the people still sacrificed in the high places, although only to the LORD their God.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh even 13his prayer to his God, and the words of 14the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings of 15Israel.
19 His prayer also and 16how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and 17the sites on which he built high places and erected the Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the records of the Hozai.
