16 He also repaired the altar of the Lord, sacrificed peace offerings and athank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 aNevertheless the people still sacrificed on the1 high places, but only to the Lord their God.
Death of Manasseh
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of athe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, indeed they are written in the1 book of the kings of Israel.
19 Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built1 high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of2 Hozai.
20 aSo Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.
Amon’s Reign and Death
21 aAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.
