strkjv@2Kings:21:1 @ Manasseh M@nashsheh# was twelve sh^nayim# years old when he began to reign , and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#. And his mothers name was Hephzibah Chephtsiy.
strkjv@2Kings:21:2 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD Y@hovah#, after the abominations of the heathen , whom the LORD Y@hovah# cast out before the children of Israel .
strkjv@2Kings:21:3 @ For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed ; and he reared up altars for Baal , and made a grove , as did Ahab king of Israel ; and worshipped all the host of heaven , and served them.
strkjv@2Kings:21:4 @ And he built altars in the house of the LORD Y@hovah#, of which the LORD Y@hovah# said , In Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# will I put my name .
strkjv@2Kings:21:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@2Kings:21:6 @ And he made his son pass through the fire , and observed times , and used enchantments , and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards yidd@#oniy#: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD Y@hovah#, to provoke him to anger .
strkjv@2Kings:21:7 @ And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house , of which the LORD Y@hovah# said to David , and to Solomon his son , In this house , and in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel , will I put my name for ever :
strkjv@2Kings:21:8 @ Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers ; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
strkjv@2Kings:21:9 @ But they hearkened not: and Manasseh M@nashsheh# seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD Y@hovah# destroyed before the children of Israel .
strkjv@2Kings:21:10 @ And the LORD Y@hovah# spake by his servants the prophets , saying ,
strkjv@2Kings:21:11 @ Because Manasseh M@nashsheh# king of Judah Y@huwdah# hath done these abominations , and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did , which were before him, and hath made Judah Y@huwdah# also to sin with his idols :
strkjv@2Kings:21:12 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD Y@hovah# God of Israel , Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# and Judah Y@huwdah#, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle .
strkjv@2Kings:21:13 @ And I will stretch over Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# the line of Samaria , and the plummet of the house of Ahab : and I will wipe Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# as a man wipeth a dish , wiping it, and turning it upside down .
strkjv@2Kings:21:14 @ And I will forsake the remnant sh@#eriyth# of mine inheritance , and deliver them into the hand of their enemies ; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies ;
strkjv@2Kings:21:15 @ Because they have done that which was evil in my sight , and have provoked me to anger , since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt , even unto this day .
strkjv@2Kings:21:16 @ Moreover Manasseh M@nashsheh# shed innocent blood very m@#od# much , till he had filled Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# from one end to another ; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah Y@huwdah# to sin , in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@2Kings:21:17 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh M@nashsheh#, and all that he did , and his sin that he sinned , are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar# of the kings of Judah Y@huwdah#?
strkjv@2Kings:21:18 @ And Manasseh M@nashsheh# slept with his fathers , and was buried in the garden of his own house , in the garden of Uzza : and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
strkjv@2Kings:21:19 @ Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign , and he reigned two years in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#. And his mothers name was Meshullemeth M@shullemeth#, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah .
strkjv@2Kings:21:20 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD Y@hovah#, as his father Manasseh M@nashsheh# did .
strkjv@2Kings:21:21 @ And he walked in all the way that his father walked in , and served the idols that his father served , and worshipped them:
strkjv@2Kings:21:22 @ And he forsook the LORD Y@hovah# God of his fathers , and walked not in the way of the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@2Kings:21:23 @ And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house .
strkjv@2Kings:21:24 @ And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon ; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
strkjv@2Kings:21:25 @ Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did , are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar# of the kings of Judah Y@huwdah#?
strkjv@2Kings:21:26 @ And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza : and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

bible 2Kings:21 -
kjv@2Kings:21:1 > > RandyP : By extending Hezekiah's life fifteen years Manasseh's existence and influence was formed and allowed with devastating effect.
kjv@2Kings:21:9 > > RandyP : kjv@Isaiah:40:2 ? Israel's was handed a double judgment on top of this.
kjv@2Kings:21:21 > > RandyP : Why is it so easy for the son to follow the evil of a father and so hard to follow his good? Perhaps in part, it could be said that to do good takes a personal decision and the personal conviction to stand against and see it through, evil only takes continuation and cowardice.
