¹⁷ The other things that happened while Manasseh was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’. It tells about the things that Manasseh did, including all his terrible sins. ¹⁸ Manasseh died and they buried him in the garden of his palace. It is called Uzza's garden. His son Amon became king after him.
