Manasseh's Progress in Sin.
2 CHRON. Xxxiii. 1, 2.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he

children of Israel.

west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at
the fish-gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up
a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced
cities of Judah. And he took away the strange gods, and
the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that
he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in
Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. And he repaired
the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings
and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord
God of Israel. Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in
the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
