Reign lasting 55 years, he desecrated the Temple, sacrificed to Molech, and corrupted the people, prompting prophets to warn of coming doom. Captivity and punishment followed as divine justice.
The text recounts King Manasseh’s capture, repentance, and restoration. It notes his earlier idolatrous acts including altars to Assyrian deities, the attempted revolt, and eventual prayer for deliverance. Returning to Jerusalem, he fortified the city, cleaned the temple, repaired the altar, and resumed offerings, though the people remained deeply entrenched in wickedness.
