1 Manasse was twelue yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned fiftie and fiue yeres in Hierusalem: 2 But dyd euyll in the sight of the Lorde, like vnto the abhominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he went to, and buylt the high places whiche Hezekia his father had broken downe: And he reared vp aulters for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoast of heauen, and serued them. 4 And he buylt aulters in the house of the Lorde, where as the Lord yet had sayd, In Hierusale shal my name be for euer. 5 And he buylded aulters for all the hoast of heauen, in the two courtes of ye house of the Lorde. 6 And he burnt his children in fire in the valley of the sonne of Hinnon: He was a sorcerer, he regarded the crying of birdes, vsed inchauntmentes, and mayntayned workers with spirites and sears of fortunes, and wrought much euyll in the sight of the Lorde to anger hym withall. 2 Chronicles 33:1-6, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
