16 Manasseh spilled so much innocent blood that he filled up every corner of Jerusalem with it. And this doesn’t include the sins he caused Judah to commit so that they did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes.
17 The rest of Manasseh’s deeds, all that he accomplished, and the sin he committed, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings?
18 Manasseh lay down with his ancestors. He was buried in his palace garden, the Uzza Garden. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
19 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled for two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth; she was Haruz’s daughter and was from Jotbah.
20 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 He walked in all the ways his father had walked. He worshipped the same worthless idols his father had worshipped, bowing down to them.
22 He deserted his ancestors’ God, the Lord—he didn’t walk in the Lord’s way.
