Manasseh was twelve sh @

years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem :
*
But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
like unto the abominations of the heathen ,
whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down ,
and he reared up altars for Baalim Ba #
al #,
and made groves ,
and worshipped all the host of heaven ,
and served them .
*
Also he built altars in the house of the LORD ,
whereof the LORD had said ,
In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever .
*
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD .
*
And he causedhis 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 yidd @#
oniy #:
he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD ,
to provoke him to anger .
*
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 Yisra #
el #,
will I put my name for ever :
*
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 .
*
So Manasseh madeJudah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err ,
and to do worse than the heathen ,
whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And the LORD spake to Manasseh ,
and to his people :
but they would not hearken .
