1
Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2
And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to the detestable things of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the {Israelites}.
3
And {he rebuilt} the high places that Hezekiah his father broke down, and he set up altars for the Baals, made Asherahs, and bowed down to the host of heaven and served them.
4
And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, [of] which Yahweh had said, "In Jerusalem my name shall be forever."
5
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
