Contextual Overview
1 Manasseh was a son of twelve years when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty five years. 2 And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had driven out from before the sons of Israel. 3 For again he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and raised up altars for the Baals, and made Asherahs and bowed himself to all the host of the heavens, and served them. 4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall be My name forever. 5 And he built altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah. 6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and did magic and divined, and used sorcery, and used mediums and conjurers; he multiplied the doing of the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger. 7 And he placed the engraved image of the idol that he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to his son Solomon, In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My nameforever. 8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers; only, if they take heed to do all that I have commanded them toward all the Law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses. 9 And Manasseh caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to sin, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed before the sons of Israel. 10 And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people, and they did not listen.
