2 Kings 21 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

King Manasseh of Judah(2 Chronicles 33.1-20)

1Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.

2 and he has led my people to sin by forcing them to worship his idols.

12Now I, the Lord God of Israel, will destroy both Jerusalem and Judah! People will hear about it but won't believe it.

13Jerusalem is as sinful as Ahab and the people of Samaria were. So I will wipe out Jerusalem and be done with it, just as someone wipes water off a plate and turns it over to dry.

14I will even get rid of my people who survive. They will be defeated and robbed by their enemies.

15My people have done what I hate and have not stopped making me angry since their ancestors left Egypt.

16Manasseh was guilty of causing the people of Judah to sin and disobey the Lord. He also refused to protect innocent people—he even let so many of them be killed that their blood filled the streets of Jerusalem.

17Everything else Manasseh did while he was king, including his terrible sins, is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.

18He died and was buried in Uzza Garden near his palace, and his son Amon became king.

King Amon of Judah(2 Chronicles 33.21-25)

19Amon was 22 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 2 years. His mother Meshullemeth was the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.

20Amon disobeyed the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done.

21Amon worshiped the idols Manasseh had made and

22refused to be faithful to the Lord, the God his ancestors had worshiped.

23Some of Amon's officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.

24-26He was buried in Uzza Garden. Soon after that, the people of Judah killed the murderers of Amon, then they made his son Josiah king.

Everything else Amon did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.
