Then Manasseh Knew

Name Date

Read and Think

Manasseh began to reign at twelve and ruled fifty-five years, longer than any king of Judah. He did evil, following the practices of the nations Yahweh had driven out. He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had broken down, built altars to Baal and to the stars in the courts of God's house, and set an idol in the temple itself.

Manasseh led Judah to do more evil than the nations. Yahweh spoke to him and his people, but they would not listen. So Yahweh brought the Assyrian army, who bound Manasseh in chains and carried him to Babylon. In his distress he begged Yahweh his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

He prayed, and God was moved by his plea. God heard him and brought him back to Jerusalem. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God. He removed the foreign gods and the idol from Yahweh's house, rebuilt the altar, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh. His son Amon did evil and did not humble himself as his father had.
