DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
for flocks.
29 Also he provided for himself cities, and possessions
of flocks and herds in abundance: for Elohim had given
him very much substance.
30 Hizqiyahu himself also stopped the upper
watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to
the west side of the city of Dawid. And Hizqiyahu
prospered in all his works.
31 However in the business of the ambassadors sent
from the rulers of Bavel, who sent to him to seek
information about all the wonders that were done in the
land, Elohim left him alone, to test him, that He might
know all that was in his lev.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hizqiyahu, and his tov
mitzvoth, see, they are written in the vision of
Yeshayahu the navi, the son of Amotz, and in the Scroll
of the Melechim of Yahudah and Yisrael.
33 And Hizqiyahu slept with his ahvot, and they buried
him in the best of the tombs of the sons of Dawid: and
all Yahudah and the inhabitants of Yahrushalayim gave
him great honor at his death. And Menashsheh his son
reigned in his place.
Menashsheh was twelve years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in
Yahrushalayim:
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of vuvh, like
the abominations of the nations, whom vuvh had cast
out before the children of Yisrael.
3 For he rebuilt again the idol temples which Hizqiyahu
his abba had broken down, and he raised up altars for
the Ba’alim, and made Asherim, and worshipped all the
hosts of the shamayim, and served them.
4 Also he built altars in the Bayit of vuvh; about which
vuvh had said, In Yahrushalayim shall My Name be
le-olam-va-ed.
5 And he built altars for all the hosts of shamayim in the
two courts of the Bayit of vuvh.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in
the Valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed
pagan times, and used enchantments, and used
witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar ruach, and with
spiritists: he did much evil in the sight of vuvh, to
provoke Him to anger.
7 And he set a carved image, an idol that he had made,
in the Bayit of Elohim, of which Elohim had said to
Dawid and to Shlomo his son, In this Bayit, and in
Yahrushalayim, which I have chosen before all
the tribes of Yisrael, will I put My Name
le-olam-va-ed: 4367
33
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Yisrael
from out of the land which I have appointed for your
ahvot; only if they will take heed to do all that I have
commanded them, according to the whole Torah and the
chukim and the ordinances by the hand of Moshe.
9 So Menashsheh made Yahudah and the inhabitants of
Yahrushalayim to go astray, and to do worse than the
nations, whom vuvh had destroyed before the children
of Yisrael.
10 And vuvh spoke to Menashsheh, and to His people:
but they would not listen.
11 Therefore vuvh brought upon them the captains of
the army of the melech of Ashshur, which took
- 584 -
Menashsheh among the thorns, and bound him with
bronze shackles, and carried him to Bavel.
12 And when he was in affliction, he sought vuvh his
Elohim, and humbled himself greatly before the Elohim
of his ahvot, 4368
13 And made tefillah to Him: and He was entreated by
him, and listened to his supplication, and brought him
again to Yahrushalayim into his malchut. Then
Menashsheh knew that vuvh He was Elohim.
14 Now after this he built a wall outside the city of
Dawid, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to
the entrance of the Fish Gate, and it went around Ophel,
and he raised it up to a very great height, and put
captains of war in all the fortified cities of Yahudah.
15 And he took away the strange elohim, and the idol
out of the Bayit of vuvh, and all the altars that he had
built on the mount of the Bayit of vuvh, and in
Yahrushalayim, and cast them out of the city.
16 And he repaired the altar of vuvh, and sacrificed on it
shalom offerings and hodu offerings, and commanded
Yahudah to serve vuvh Elohim of Yisrael.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the idol
temples, yet to vuvh their Elohim only.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Menashsheh, and his
tefillah to his Elohim, and the words of the seers that
spoke to him in the Name of vuvh Elohim of Yisrael,
see, they are written in the Scroll of the Melechim of
Yisrael.
19 His tefillah also, and how Elohim was moved by
him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in
which he built idol temples, and set up Asherim and
graven images, before he was humbled: see, they are all
written among the sayings of the seers.
20 So Menashsheh slept with his ahvot, and they buried
him in his own bayit: and Amon his son reigned in his
place.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to
reign, and reigned two years in Yahrushalayim.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of vuvh,
as did Menashsheh his abba: for Amon sacrificed to all
the carved images which Menashsheh his abba had
made, and served them;
23 And humbled not himself before vuvh, as
Menashsheh his abba had humbled himself; but Amon
trespassed more and more.
24 And his avadim conspired against him, and killed
him in his own bayit.
25 But the people of the land killed all them that had
conspired against melech Amon; and the people of the
land made Yoshiyahu his son melech in his place.
34
Yoshiyahu was eight years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned in Yahrushalayim thirty-one years.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of vuvh,
and had his halacha in the halachot of Dawid his abba,
and turned neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet
young, he began to seek after the Elohim of Dawid his
abba: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Yahudah
and Yahrushalayim of the idol temples, and the
Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
4 And they broke down the altars of Ba’alim in his
presence; and the images, that were high above them, he
