Bible verse
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
2 Kings 21:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Kings 21.
16 Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end, in addition to the sin that he had caused Judah to commit, doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
17 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
18 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.
20 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
21 He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.
22 He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
