14:033:006 And he caused his children to pass through
the fire in the
valley
of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times,
and used
enchantments,
and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar
spirit,
and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the
sight of
the
lord, to provoke him to anger.
14:033:007 And he set a carved image, the idol which
he had made, in the
house
of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon
his
son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have
chosen
before
all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
14:033:008 Neither will I any more remove the foot
of Israel from out of
the
land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that
they
will
take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according
to
the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by
the
hand
of Moses.
14:033:009 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem to
err,
and to do worse than the heathen, whom the lord
had
destroyed
before the children of Israel.
14:033:010 And the lord spake to Manasseh, and
to his people: but they
would
not hearken.
14:033:011 Wherefore the lord brought upon them
the captains of the host
of
the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the
thorns,
and
bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
14:033:012 And when he was in affliction, he besought
the lord his God,
and
humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
14:033:013 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated
of him, and heard
his
supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into
his
kingdom.
Then Manasseh knew that the lord he was God.
14:033:014 Now after this he built a wall without
the city of David, on
the
west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering
in
at
the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised
it up
a
very great height, and put captains of war in all the
fenced
cities
of Judah.
14:033:015 And he took away the strange gods, and
the idol out of the
house
of the lord, and all the altars that he had built
in the
mount
of the house of the lord, and in Jerusalem, and
cast
them
out of the city.
14:033:016 And he repaired the altar of the lord,
and sacrificed thereon
peace
offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah
to
serve
the lord God of Israel.
14:033:017 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still
in the high
places,
yet unto the lord their God only.
