Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Amon - 2 Chronicles 31-33

Hezekiah Sets Up Priests for Service

[4] Also he said to the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the law of Yahweh. 

[5] As soon as the word spread forth, the sons of Israel provided in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all. [2Ch 31:4-5 LSB]

[20] Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what [was] good, right, and true before Yahweh his God. 

[21] And every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment--to seek his God--he did with all his heart and succeeded. [2Ch 31:20-21 LSB]

Sennacherib Invades Judah

[7] "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the multitude that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him. 

[8] "With him is [only] an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people were sustained by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. [2Ch 32:7-8 LSB]

Sennacherib Reproaches Yahweh

[17] He also wrote letters to reproach Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand." ... 

[19] And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men's hands. [2Ch 32:17, 19 LSB]

Yahweh Wipes Out the Men of Assyria

[20] But King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed about this and cried out to heaven. 

[21] And Yahweh sent an angel who wiped out every mighty man of valor, ruler, and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned in shame to his own land. And he entered the house of his god, and some of his own children caused him to fall there by the sword. [2Ch 32:20-21 LSB]

Manasseh Reigns over Judah

[2] And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh dispossessed before the sons of Israel. ... 

[9] Thus Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray in order to do more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the sons of Israel. [2Ch 33:2, 9 LSB]

Manasseh Removes Foreign Idols

[10] Then Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. ... 

[12] And when he was in distress, he entreated Yahweh his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 

[13] Then he prayed to Him, and He was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication, and returned him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh [was] God. [2Ch 33:10, 12-13 LSB]

Amon Reigns over Judah

[22] And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done, and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images which his father Manasseh had made, and he served them. 

[23] Moreover, he did not humble himself before Yahweh as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, but Amon multiplied guilt. [2Ch 33:22-23 LSB]
