Manasseh {was} twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name {was} Hephzibah.

Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh his son,

And I will give children {to be} their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king {is} a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

{As for} my people, children {are} their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause {thee} to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. {lead...: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}

Josiah {was} eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh his son,

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}

His prayer also, and {how God} was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they {are} written among the sayings of the seers. {the seers: or, Hosai}

Amon {was} two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

But he did {that which was} evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. {trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}

Josiah {was} eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

And I will give children {to be} their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, {are} they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king {is} a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
