2 Chronicles 33:9–17

9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken. 11 Wherefore ethe Lord brought upon them the captains of the host †of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the fthorns, and bound him with ||fetters, and gcarried him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in affliction, he hbesought the Lord his God, and ihumbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 13 And prayed unto him: and he kwas intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh lknew that the Lord he was God. 14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of mGihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the nfish gate, and compassed about ||Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. 15 And he took away the ostrange gods, and the pidol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and qthank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel. 17 Nevertheless rthe people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
