2 Chronicles 33 in the King James Version (KJV) tells the story of Manasseh, one of the kings of Judah. Manasseh ruled for 55 years, and his reign was marked by wickedness and idolatry. He built high places, altars, and idols to foreign gods, even erecting altars in the house of the Lord. He practiced divination, witchcraft, and consulted with familiar spirits, provoking God to anger.
As a result of Manasseh's disobedience, God sent Assyrian commanders who captured him and took him as a captive to Babylon. In his distress, Manasseh humbled himself and prayed to God, who heard his supplication and restored him to his kingdom. Afterward, Manasseh removed the idols and foreign gods, repaired the altar of the Lord, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord.
Despite his repentance, Manasseh's reign was not without consequences. The people of Judah continued to worship idols, and although the Lord spoke to them, they did not listen. God then brought the Assyrian army against Judah, causing great destruction. In the midst of this turmoil, Manasseh sought the Lord and humbled himself again.
