2 Chronicles 33:11–19

^11aTherefore Yahweh brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with ¹hooks, ^bbound him with bronze chains, and took him to Babylon.

¹²And when ^ahe was in distress, he entreated Yahweh his God and ^bhumbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

¹³Then he prayed to Him, and ^aHe was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication, and returned him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh ^bknew that Yahweh was God.

¹⁴Afterwards, he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of ^aGihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the ^bFish Gate; and he encircled the ^cOphel with it and made it very high. Then he put military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.

¹⁵He also ^aremoved the foreign gods and the ¹idol from the house of Yahweh, as well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.

¹⁶And he set up the altar of Yahweh and sacrificed ^apeace offerings and thank offerings on it; and he said for Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹⁷Nevertheless ^athe people still sacrificed in the high places, although only to Yahweh their God.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, even ^ahis prayer to his God, and the words of ^bthe seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are among the chronicles of the kings of ^cIsrael.

¹⁹His prayer also and ^ahow God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and ^bthe sites on which he built high places and erected the ¹Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the chronicles of the ²Hozai.
