30 Hez·e·kiʹah sent word to all Israel+ and Judah, and even wrote letters to Eʹphra·im and Ma·nasʹseh,+ to come to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem to observe the Passover to Jehovah the God of Israel.+

12 The hand of the true God was also in Judah to unite them* to carry out what the king and the princes had commanded by the word of Jehovah.

33 Ma·nasʹseh+ was 12 years old when he became king, and he reigned for 55 years in Jerusalem.+

16 He also prepared the altar of Jehovah+ and began to offer up communion sacrifices+ and thanksgiving sacrifices+ on it, and he told Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
