Summary

This verse describes how the Lord spoke to King Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. Despite God's attempts to reach out to them, they chose to ignore His warnings and continued in their sinful ways. The disobedience of Manasseh and his subjects led to their eventual downfall and capture by the Assyrian army. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of rejecting God's guidance and the importance of heeding His word.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

At Ch2 33:10, the account in the Chronicle diverges from that in 2 Kings. In Kg2 21:10-16 it is related how the Lord caused it to be proclaimed by the prophets, that in punishment of Manasseh's sins Jerusalem would be destroyed, and the people given into the power of their enemies, and how Manasseh filled Jerusalem with the shedding of innocent blood. Instead of this, in Ch2 33:10 of the Chronicle it is only briefly said that the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not hearken; and then in Ch2 33:11-17 it is narrated that Manasseh was led away to Babylon by the king of Assyria's captains of the host; in his trouble turned to the Lord his God, and prayed; was thereupon brought by God back to Jerusalem; after his return, fortified Jerusalem with a new wall; set commanders over all the fenced cities of Judah; abolished the idolatry in the temple and the city, and restored the worship of Jahve.
