Notes

2 Chronicles 33:13

Manasseh's experience was a small version of what the nation would face: exile and captivity due to turning away from God, followed by repentance and returning to the Lord.

2 Chronicles 33:12–17

The book of Kings does not mention Manasseh’s repentance. It only tells of the promised judgment due to his wicked deeds (see 2 Kings 21:10–16). Chronicles describes the good things he did after repenting, following his father Hezekiah’s example. However, Manasseh’s actions could not turn the people's hearts back to the Lord or stop God’s judgment on Judah (2 Chronicles 33:17).

2 Chronicles 33:1–20

Manasseh ruled for fifty-five years, from 697 to 642 BC, longer than any other king in Judah. His reign included a period when he ruled with his father, Hezekiah, from 697 to 686 BC. A long reign often indicated blessing, even though Manasseh did evil in the Lord's sight. The Chronicler describes his humiliation, repentance, and the restoration of worship in Judah.
