2 Chronicles 33:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² ·As Manasseh suffered [^LWhen he was in distress], he ·begged [entreated; ^Lsought] the Lord his God for help and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ·ancestors [fathers]. ¹³ When Manasseh prayed, the Lord heard ·him [^Lhis plea] and ·had pity on him [was moved]. So the Lord ·let him return [brought him back] to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is the true God.

¹⁴ After that happened, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David [^CJerusalem] and made it higher. It was in the valley on the west side of the Gihon spring and went to the entrance of the Fish Gate and around the hill of Ophel. Then he ·put [stationed] ·commanders [officers] in all the ·strong, walled [fortified] cities in Judah.
