2 Kings 21

Manasseh reigns 55 years in Jerusalem, rebuilding high places, worshiping the host of heaven, sacrificing his son, and provoking YHWH to anger, filling Jerusalem with innocent blood; YHWH declares judgment on Judah. Amon reigns two evil years like his father, is assassinated by servants, and the people make Josiah king.[1][2]
