14:033:018 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his
           God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name
           of the lord God of Israel, behold, they are written in the
           book of the kings of Israel.

14:033:019 His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his
           sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high
           places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was
           humbled:  behold, they are written among the sayings of the
           seers.

14:033:020 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his
           own house:  and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

14:033:021 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and
           reigned two years in Jerusalem.

14:033:022 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the lord, as
           did Manasseh his father:  for Amon sacrificed unto all the
           carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served
           them;

14:033:023 And humbled not himself before the lord, as Manasseh his
           father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

14:033:024 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his
           own house.

14:033:025 But 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.

14:034:001 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he
           reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

14:034:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the lord, and
           walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither
           to the right hand, nor to the left.

14:034:003 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young,
           he began to seek after the God of David his father:  and in the
           twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the
           high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the
           molten images.

14:034:004 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and
           the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the
           groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake
           in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the
           graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

14:034:005 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and
           cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

14:034:006 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and
           Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

14:034:007 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had
           beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the
           idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to
           Jerusalem.
