Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Chronicles 33
¹⁶ He also repaired the altar of the Lord, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
¹⁷ Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
¹⁹ Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of Hozai.
²⁰ So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.
²¹ Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
²² But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.
²³ And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
²⁴ Then his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his own house.
²⁵ But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
2 Chronicles 34
¹ Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
