他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他父瑪拿西所行的，祭祀事奉他父瑪拿西所雕刻的偶像，

他出來迎接亞撒，對他說：「亞撒和猶大、便雅憫眾人哪，要聽我說：你們若順從耶和華，耶和華必與你們同在；你們若尋求他，就必尋見；你們若離棄他，他必離棄你們。

百姓卻仍在邱壇上獻祭，只獻給耶和華－他們的神。

愛我的，我也愛他；懇切尋求我的，必尋得見。

大衛王對會眾說：「我兒子所羅門是神特選的，還年幼嬌嫩；這工程甚大，因這殿不是為人，乃是為耶和華神建造的。

並且知道你是從小明白聖經，這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌，有得救的智慧。

你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。

神人奉耶和華的命向壇呼叫，說：「壇哪，壇哪！耶和華如此說：大衛家裏必生一個兒子，名叫約西亞，他必將邱壇的祭司，就是在你上面燒香的，殺在你上面，人的骨頭也必燒在你上面。」

你趁着年幼、衰敗的日子尚未來到，就是你所說，我毫無喜樂的那些年日未曾臨近之先，當記念造你的主。

少年人用甚麼潔淨他的行為呢？是要遵行你的話！

我又要毀壞你們的邱壇，砍下你們的日像，把你們的屍首扔在你們偶像的身上；我的心也必厭惡你們。

「我兒所羅門哪，你當認識耶和華－你父的神，誠心樂意地事奉他；因為他鑒察眾人的心，知道一切心思意念。你若尋求他，他必使你尋見；你若離棄他，他必永遠丟棄你。
