12:020:018 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee,
which thou shalt
beget,
shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in
the
palace
of the king of Babylon.
12:020:019 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is
the word of the lord
which
thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good,
if peace
and
truth be in my days?
12:020:020 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and
all his might, and
how
he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into
the
city,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles
of
the
kings of Judah?
12:020:021 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers:
and Manasseh his son
reigned
in his stead.
12:021:001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began
to reign, and
reigned
fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s
name
was Hephzibah.
12:021:002 And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the lord, after
the
abominations of the heathen, whom the lord cast
out before
the
children of Israel.
12:021:003 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.
12:021:004 And he built altars in the house of the
lord, of which the
lord
said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
12:021:005 And he built altars for all the host of
heaven in the two
courts
of the house of the lord.
12:021:006 And he made his son pass through the fire,
and observed times,
and
used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits
and
wizards:
he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the lord,
to
provoke him to anger.
12:021:007 And he set a graven image of the grove
that he had made in the
house,
of which the lord said to David, and to Solomon
his
son,
In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen
out
of
all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
12:021:008 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.
12:021:009 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh
seduced them to do more
evil
than did the nations whom the lord destroyed before
the
children
of Israel.
12:021:010 And the lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
12:021:011 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done
these abominations,
and
hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did,
which
were
before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his
idols:
