Manasseh … did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, … and he reared up altars for Baal, … And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. … And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.1 – And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication.2 |
