said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
[15] And he said, What have they seen in
thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is
nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
[16] And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the
word of the LORD.
[17] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house,and that which thy fathers
have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
[18]
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall
be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
[19] Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word
of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
[20]
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and
brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[21]
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
2Kgs.21
[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
[2] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For
he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for
Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
them.
[4] And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put
my name.
[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
[6]
And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with
familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to
anger.
[7] And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD
said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all
tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
[8] Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of
the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded
them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
[9] But they hearkened
not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before
the children of Israel.
[10] And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
[11] Because Manasseh
king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did,
which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
[12] Therefore thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth
of it, both his ears shall tingle.
[13] And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet
of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside
down.
[14] And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their
enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
[15] Because they have done
that which was evil in my sight,and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth
out of Egypt, even unto this day.
[16] Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had
filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that
which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
[17] Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did,
and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[18]
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of
Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
[19] Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter
of Haruz of Jotbah.
[20] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh
did.
[21] And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served,
and worshipped them:
[22] And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of
the LORD.
[23] And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
[24]
And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the
land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
[25] Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[26] And he was buried in his sepulchre
in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
