Manasseh's repentance; as in 2 Chronicles 33:1–13 (illustration from a Bible card published in 1904 by the Providence Lithograph Company) According to 2 Chronicles 33:11–13, Manasseh was on one occasion brought in chains to the Assyrian king, possibly Esarhaddon or Ashurbanipal, presumably for suspected disloyalty. The verse goes on to ...
While a prisoner, Manasseh prayed for mercy, and upon being freed and restored to the throne turned from his idolatrous ways (2 Chronicles 33:15–17). A reference to a penitential prayer, but not the prayer itself, is made in 2 Chronicles 33:19 , which says that the prayer is written in "the annals of the kings of Israel".
Amon was the son of King Manasseh of Judah and Meshullemeth, a daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. [5] Although the date is unknown, the Hebrew Bible records that he married Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

His son Manasseh ruled from his father's death until 642 BC, while Manasseh's son Amon ruled from 642 BC to 640 BC. Josiah ruled from 640 BC to 609 BC. [ 2 ] Manasseh was widely regarded as the most wicked king of Judah, so why he appears in this genealogy when other discreditable ancestors have been left out is an important question.
However, it is generally assumed that the book takes place after Manasseh's return from captivity in Assyria and his subsequent repentance. Nicolaus Serarius, Giovanni Menochio and Thomas Worthington speculated that Manasseh was busy fortifying Jerusalem at the time (which also fits with 2 Chronicles 33) and left the matters of the rest of the ...
Manasseh is counted as the father of the Israelite Tribe of Manasseh, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Jacob also blessed Ephraim over his older brother (Genesis 48:20). Manasseh had a son, Asriel, with his wife, [disputed (for: whether Asriel was with his wife or his concubine) – discuss] and Machir with his Aramean concubine (1 ...
