⁹ But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.^(A)

¹⁰ The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.

Amon King of Judah^(A)

²¹ Amon^(B) was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. ²² He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made. ²³ But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble^(C) himself before the Lord; Amon increased his guilt.
