George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 21:17

Sinned. It is rather wonderful that his repentance is not here noticed; but we find it mentioned [in] 2 Paralipomenon xxxiii. 12. (Haydock) --- He was probably taken prisoner by Thartan, general of Sargon, or Asarhaddon, who had reunited the two kingdoms of Assyria and Babylon, Isaias xx. 1. In prison Manasses composed a penitential prayer, which is not absolutely rejected by the Church, but left in the rank of Apocryphal writings; (Calmet) the authority of which is not clearly ascertained.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:1-9

1-9 Young persons generally desire to become their own masters, and to have early possession of riches and power. But this, for the most part, ruins their future comfort, and causes mischief to others. It is much happier when young persons are sheltered under the care of parents or guardians, till age gives experience and discretion. Though such young persons are less indulged, they will afterwards be thankful. Manasseh wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, as if on purpose to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:10-18

10-18 Here is the doom of Judah and Jerusalem. The words used represent the city emptied and utterly desolate, yet not destroyed thereby, but cleansed, and to be kept for the future dwelling of the Jews: forsaken, yet not finally, and only as to outward privileges, for individual believers were preserved in that visitation. The Lord will cast off any professing people who dishonour him by their crimes, but never will desert his cause on earth. In the book of Chronicles we read of Manasseh's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 21:1-18

Manasseh's Reign v. 1. Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, having been born three years after his father's severe illness, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. v. 2. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. It seems that the wicked priests and false prophets had formed a party and insinuated themselves into the favor of... read more

SECOND SECTIONThe Monarchy Under Manasseh, Amon, And Josiah(2 Kings 21:1 to 2 Kings 23:30)A.—The Reigns of Manasseh and Amon2 Kings 21:1-26. (2 Chronicles 33:0)1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzi-bah. 2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. 3For he built up again the high places which... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 21:1-15

an Evil Leader’s Terrible Influence 2 Kings 21:1-15 It seems incredible that the good Hezekiah should have had such a son; but the young prince was evidently under the power of that reactionary party which, during Hezekiah’s reign, had been kept in check only by the strong influence of Isaiah. Hence, on becoming king, Manasseh reintroduced the worst forms of idolatry which had disgraced the nations of Canaan and were rife in neighboring countries. It was the height of presumptuous impiety to... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 21:16-26

like Father, like Son 2 Kings 21:16-26 Manasseh shed much innocent blood, and among others, tradition has it that Isaiah was sawn asunder at his command, Hebrews 11:37 . Amon followed in his father’s steps. Here is the horror of sin! A man may repent and turn to God, but he cannot undo the effect of his evil course on those whom he has seduced. Probably, on his conversion to God, Manasseh used all the power at his command to induce Amon to avoid the sins of his own early life and to follow... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 21:1-26

Here we have the story of reaction. It manifested itself in two reigns, both utterly evil, Manasseh's, lasting fifty- five years, and Amon's, lasting two years. The story of Manasseh's sin was not merely of personal wrongdoing, but also of the deliberate undoing of what his father had been at such pains to accomplish. What we have hinted at more than once as issuing from such failure as that of the chosen people is here declared in so many words. Manasseh seduced them to do evil more than did... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:1-2

The Reign of Manasseh, King of Judah 687/6-642/1 BC. Co-regent from 696/95 BC. In this passage the prophetic author, who was as we have seen always very selective, concentrated his attention on the failures of Manasseh and the future consequences for Judah. He mentions neither his Babylonian exile, nor his repentance (see 2 Chronicles 33:1-20), nor is there any mention at all of his subjection to Assyria. As far as he was concerned they were irrelevant to his main purpose, which was to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:3-9

Summary Of His Evil Life (2 Kings 21:3-9 ). The full evil of the life of Manasseh is brought out by a detailed description of all the abominations that he committed (2 Kings 21:3-7), followed by two summaries, one in 2 Kings 21:9 and one in 2 Kings 21:16, thereby making up a threefold indictment of the ‘completeness’ of his evil. Whilst it was true that his subjection to the King of Assyria would have required that at a minimum he introduce into the Temple an Assyrian altar, and the worship... read more
