Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Chronicles 33
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.
² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
³ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.
⁴ They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
