15. I will do this because they have done what I consider evil and have been making me furious from the time their ancestors left Egypt until this day.”
16. In addition to his sin that he led Judah to commit in front of the Lord, Manasseh also killed a lot of innocent people from one end of Jerusalem to the other.
17. Isn’t everything else about Manasseh—everything he did, the sins he committed—written in the official records of the kings of Judah?
18. Manasseh lay down in death with his ancestors. He was buried in the garden of his own palace, in the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
19. Amon was 22 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 2 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
20. He did what the Lord considered evil, as his father Manasseh had done.
21. He lived like his father in every way and worshiped and prayed to the idols his father had worshiped.
22. He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors and didn’t live the Lord’s way.
