After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16

17
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18
But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19

21
Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23
And he did not humble himself before the lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sin.
24
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
