2 Kings 21:10-18
Yahweh Brings Calamity on Israel
10 Then Yahweh spoke by the hand of His slaves the prophets, saying, 11 “aBecause Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations—bhe has done evil more than all the Amorites did who were before him—and chas also made Judah sin dwith his idols, 12 therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, aboth his ears will tingle. 13 aAnd I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the level of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish—he wipes it and turns it upside down. 14 And I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they will become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies; 15 because they have done what is evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
16 aMoreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin bwith which he made Judah sin, in doing what is evil in the sight of Yahweh. 17 aNow the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 18 aAnd Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, bin the garden of Uzza. And Amon his son became king in his place.
