¹M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] . And his mother’s name [was] Heftzibah [my delight is in her] .

²And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) cast out before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

³For he built up again the high places which Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba’al [lord (a false god)] , and made a Ashera (consort of Ba’al) , as did Ach’av [father’s brother] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ; and worshipped all the army of heaven, and served them.

⁴And he built altars in the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , of which the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, In Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] will I put my name.

⁵And he built altars for all the army of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

⁶And he made his son pass through the fire (as a sacrifice) , and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards (he practiced soothsaying and divination and appointed mediums and persons who used spirit guides) : he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , to provoke [him] to anger.

⁷And he set a graven image of the Asherah (consort of Ba’al) that he had made in the house, of which the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said to David [beloved] , and to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son, In this house, and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , which I have chosen out of all tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , will I put my name forever:

⁸Neither will I make the feet of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] 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 Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] commanded them.

⁹But they listened not: and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) destroyed before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

¹⁰And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

¹¹Because M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] has done these abominations, [and] has done wickedly above all that the Emori [Highlanders] did, which [were] before him, and has made Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] also to sin with his idols:

¹²Therefore thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , Behold, I [am] bringing [such] evil upon Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , that whosoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹³And I will stretch over Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] the line of Shomron [watch mountain] , and the plummet of the house of Ach’av [father’s brother] : and I will wipe Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] as [a man] wipes a dish, wiping [it] , and turning [it] upside down.

¹⁴And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil (plunder; prey; booty) to all their enemies;

¹⁵Because 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 Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] , even unto this day.

¹⁶Moreover M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] shed so much innocent blood, that he had filled Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from one end to another; beside his sin which he made Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to sin, in doing [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] , 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 Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] ?

¹⁸And M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of ‘Uza [strength] : and ‘Amon [master workman] his son reigned in his stead.

¹⁹‘Amon [master workman] [was] twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] . And his mother’s name [was] Meshulemet [friend] , the daughter of Harutz [zealous] of Yotvah [pleasing] .

²⁰And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , as his father M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] did.

²¹And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

²²And he forsook the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

²³And the servants of ‘Amon [master workman] conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.

²⁴And the people of the land killed all them that had conspired against king ‘Amon [master workman] ; and the people of the land made Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] his son king in his stead.

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of ‘Amon [master workman] which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] ?

²⁶And he was buried in his sepulcher in the garden of ‘Uza [strength] : and Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] his son reigned in his stead.
