2 Chronicles 33:23

2 Chronicles 33:23

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

a. ASV: And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.

b. YLT: And hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt. 

c. Classic Amplified: And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father [finally] did; but Amon trespassed and became more and more guilty.

d. Septuagint: And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression. 

e. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/ Writings: He did not humble himself before HASHEM as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, for he, Amon, incurred much guilt.
