2 Chronicles 33:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Manasseh rules Judah as king

33 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king. He ruled as king in Jerusalem for 55 years. ² Manasseh did things that the Lord said were evil. He did the same terrible sins that the other nations in Canaan had done. Those were the nations that the Lord had chased out so that the Israelites could live there. ³ Manasseh built again the altars on the hills that his father Hezekiah had knocked down. He built altars for people to worship idols of Baal. He also made Asherah poles. He bent down low to worship all the stars in the sky.
