33:1-6
Manasseh was only twelve when he became king and he reigned for fifty five years. However, he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even rebuilding the high places that his father had demolished and erecting other places of idol worship. He bowed down to idols. He also sacrificed his children, His evil aroused the anger of the Lord.
33:7-9
He even put an image in the temple of the Lord. He led the people of Judah astray, so they did more evil than the nations that the Lord had expelled. In Hezekiah’s time the Assyrian attack on Jerusalem failed, but Manasseh was preparing the way for Babylon’s success.
