A Very Bad King

Name Date

Read the Story

Manasseh was twelve when he became king. He ruled a long time. His father Hezekiah was good. But Manasseh did evil.

He built back the places for idols. He put altars for false gods in God's house. He led the people to do wrong.

God sent prophets to warn them. God said trouble would come to Jerusalem. Then Manasseh's son Amon was king. He did evil too. Then little Josiah became king.

Memory Verse

“He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.”

2 Kings 21:2 (WEB)
