15 Because they-have_done that which was Xevil in My sight, and haye_pro- voked #le to_anger, since the day their fathers came_forth out_of Egypt, even unto xthis xday.”
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had _ filled -Jerusalem from one end to another ; beside his sin wherewith he made -Judah to_sin, in doing that which was xevil in the_sight_of 4 the Lorp.
7 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Ma- nasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, ave thep not written in the_book_of the chronicles of the_kings_ of Judah?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was_buried in the_garden_of his_ own house, in the_garden_of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
19a Amon was twenty and two years old when he began_to_reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was ™ Meshulle-
‘\meth, the_daughter_of Haruz of Jot- bah
ah.
20 And he did that which was xevil in the_sight_of J the Lorp, «cas his father Manasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served «the idols that his father served, and wor- shipped them :
And he forsook 4 of his fathers, and walked not in the_ way_of J the Lorp.
2% And the_servants_of Amon con- spired against him, and slew -the king in his_own house.
24 And the_people_of the land slew
‘|eall them that had_conspired against
xking Amon; and the_people_of the land made Jj -Josiah his son king in his stead.
25 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Amon which he did, are thep not written in the_book_of the chronicles of the_kings_ of Judah ?
26 And he was_buried in his sepulchre in the_garden_of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
J JOSIAH was cight years old 22 when he began_to_reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jeru- salem. And his mother’s name was je Jedidah, the_daughter_of Adaiah of Boscath.
2 And he did that which was xright in the_sight_of Jthe Lorp, and walked in all the_way_of David his father, and turned not aside to the right_hand or to the left.
3 And it came_to_pass in the_eigh- teenth year_of xking Josiah, that the king sent -Shaphan the_son_of Azaliah, the_son_of Meshullam, the scribe, to the_house-_of 4 the Lor», saying,
4“-+Go_up to Hilkiah the high ~priest, that he may_sum -the silver which is_ brought into the_house_of Jthe Lorp, which the_keepers_of the ¢door have_ gathered of «the people:
> And let_them_deliver it into the_ hand_of the_doers_of the work, x-that_ have the_oversight of the_house_of / the Lorp: and let_them_give it to the_
