2 Chronicles 33 · Grade 3
He Humbled Himself
Read the Story
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign. He reigned fifty-five years. He did evil in Yahweh's sight. He rebuilt the high places and made altars for Baal. He put an idol in God's house.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen. So Manasseh was taken away. When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God. He humbled himself greatly.
He prayed, and God heard him. God brought him back to Jerusalem. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God. He took away the idols and built up Yahweh's altar. He told Judah to serve Yahweh.
Memory Verse
