Contextual Overview

1Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh dispossessed before the sons of Israel. 3Indeed, he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had torn down; and he erected altars for the Baals and made Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, "In Jerusalem My name shall be forever." 5Indeed, he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Yahweh. 6He even made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced soothsaying, interpreted omens, practiced sorcery, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much that was evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking Him to anger. 7Then he put the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever. 8And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have set up for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them according to all the law, the statutes and the judgments given by the hand of Moses." 9Thus Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray in order to do more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the sons of Israel. 10Then Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
