2 Chronicles 33:17 In-Context

15 He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of the LORD, and in Yerushalayim, and cast them out of the city.

16 He built up the altar of the LORD, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Yehudah to serve the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.

17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Menashsheh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Yisra'el.

19 His prayer also, and how [God] was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
