1	Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem:	Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.	Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2	And he did euill in the sight of the Lorde, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lorde had cast out before the children of Israel.	And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3	For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued them.	For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.	He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them.
4	Also he built altars in the house of the Lorde, whereof the Lorde had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.	And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.”	He built altars in the temple of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5	And he built altars for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lorde.	And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.	In both courts of the temple of the LORD, he built altars to all the starry hosts.
6	And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.	And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.	He sacrificed his children in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, arousing his anger.
7	He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer,	And the carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever,	He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.
8	Neither will I make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses.	and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land that I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses.”	I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.”
9	So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.	Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.	But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10	And the Lorde spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.	The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention.	The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
11	Wherefore the Lorde brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, & bound him in chaines, & caryed him to Babel.	Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon.	So the LORD brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
12	And when he was in tribulation, he prayed to the Lorde his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers,	And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.	In his distress he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13	And prayed vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lorde was God.	He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.	And when he prayed to him, the LORD was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
14	Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah.	Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into the Fish Gate, and carried it around Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah.	Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encircling the hill of Ophel; he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.
15	And he tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, & all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lorde, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.	And he took away 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 threw them outside of the city.	He got rid of the foreign gods and removed the image from the temple of the LORD, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city.
16	Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, & commanded Iudah to serue the Lord God of Israel.	He also restored the altar of the LORD and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.	Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17	Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lorde their God.	Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.	The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18	Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, & his prayer vnto his God, & the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel.	Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, 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 in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.	The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.
19	And his prayer and how God was intreated of him, and all his sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built hie places, and set groues and images (before he was humbled) behold, they are written in the booke of the Seers.	And his prayer, and how God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.	His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.
20	So Manasseh slept with his fathers, & they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne reigned in his stead.	So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house, and Amon his son reigned in his place.	Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
21	Amon was two and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned two yeere in Ierusalem.	Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.	Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22	But he did euill in the sight of the Lorde, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued them,	And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made.
23	And he humbled not him selfe before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but this Amon trespassed more and more.	And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.	But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble himself before the LORD; Amon increased his guilt.
24	And his seruants conspired against him, & slewe him in his owne house.	And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house.	Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace.
25	But the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon: and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.	But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.	Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
