THE WRITINGS
II CHRONICLES
DIVREI HAYAMIM II
The Jewish People
Chapter 33
Once again, doing evil in the eyes of Hashem.
Worshiping other gods equivalent to Jesus, Trinity, Triune or 3-in-1 G-d in our current times, today.
Including astrology, omens, sorcery, conjuring spirits and more… all are against Hashem.
“King Manasseh”
“Encouraging Idol Worship”
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, …
33:1
He did what was evil in the eyes of Hashem, like the abominations of the nations that Hashem had driven out before the Children of Israel.
33:2
He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down. … and he bowed down to the entire host of heaven and worshiped them.
33:3
He built altars in the Temple of Hashem — about which Hashem had said, “My Name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
:4
He passed his sons through the fire in the Valley of Ben-(the son of) hinnom, practiced astrology, read omens, did sorcery, performed necromancy and conjured up spirits; he was profuse in doing what was evil in the eyes of Hashem, to anger Him.
:6
And I shall no longer remove Israel’s feet from on the land that I have established for your forefathers, provided they are careful to act according to all that I have commanded them — all the Torah, statutes and ordinances — through Moses.”
:8
But Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray to do more evil than the nations that Hashem had destroyed from before the Children of Israel.
:9
Hashem spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
:10
But in his distress he beseeched Hashem, His God, and he humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
:12
He prayed to Him, and He was entreated by him and heard his supplication, and He returned him to Jerusalem, to his kingship. Then Manasseh realized that Hashem is God.
:13
He removed the strange gods and the image from the Temple of Hashem and all the altars that he had built on the Mountain of the Temple of Hashem and in Jerusalem, discarding them outside the city.
:15
… and he commanded Judah to worship Hashem, the God of Israel.
:16
However, the people still brought offerings at the high places, albeit to Hashem their God.
:17
Manasseh lay with his forefathers and was buried in his palace. His son Amon reigned in his place.
:20
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, …
:21
He did what was evil in the eyes of Hashem, as his father Manasseh had done, and he sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made, and he worshiped them.
:22
He did not humble himself before Hashem as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, for he, Amon, incurred much guilt.
:23
His servants conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
:24
… the people of the land crowned Josiah his son in his place.
:25
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, like the abominations of the nations that the Lord had driven out from before the Children of Israel.
3 And he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had demolished, and he erected altars to the baalim, and he made asheroth, and he prostrated himself to the entire host of the heaven, and he worshipped them.
4 And he built altars in the House of the Lord, concerning which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem, My name shall be forever.”
5 And he built altars to the entire host of heaven in the two courts of the House of the Lord.
6 And he passed his sons through fire in the valley of Ben Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, divination, and sorcery, and he consulted necromancers and those who divine by the jidoa bone; he did much that was evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke Him.
7 And he placed the graven image of the idol that he made, in the House of God, concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this House and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My name forever.
8 And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet from the land that I have given their forefathers; if they will but observe to do all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law, the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses My servant commanded them.”
9 And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray to do what was evil, more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed from before the Children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they did not listen.
11 And the Lord brought upon them the generals of the king of Assyria, and they seized Manasseh with hooks and bound him with copper chains and brought him to Babylon.
12 And when he was distressed, he entreated the Lord his God, and he humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 And he prayed to Him, and He accepted his prayer, and He heard his supplication and He restored him to Jerusalem to his kingdom, and Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
14 And afterwards, he built an outer wall to the City of David on the west of Gihon in the valley, even to the Fish Gate, and he surrounded the Ophel and raised it exceedingly, and he placed military officers in all the fortified cities in Judah.
15 And he removed the foreign gods and the idol from the House of the Lord and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the House of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he cast them outside the city.
16 And he built the altar of the Lord, and he sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thanksgiving offerings, and he told Judah to worship the Lord God of Israel.
17 But the people were still sacrificing on the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 And the rest of Manasseh’s affairs and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel-behold they are with the affairs of the kings of Israel.
19 And his prayer and its acceptance, and his sin and his treacherous acts, and the places where he built high places and erected the asherim and the graven images before he humbled himself-behold they are inscribed with the words of Hozai.
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house, and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord as Manasseh his father had done, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, Amon sacrificed, and he worshipped them.
23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord as Manasseh his father had done, for he-Amon-became more and more guilty.
24 And his servants conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace.
25 And the people of the land slew all the conspirators against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
