Manasseh's Wickedness and Pone
tence.-2 Chron. 33: 1-20.
Commentary. --1. Manasseh', wicked-
• ness (es, 1-10,) 1. Manasseh ---The son
of Hezeldah and Hepzibah. He was born
three years after his father's extraordi-
nary recovery from sickness, ,was twelve
years old In Judalt, as in .England, a
king was not supposed to be of age un-
til he was eighteen: For six years Man-
asseh must have been to a great ex-
tent under the influence of his regents
and counsellors. -Farrar, 2. But 'did
that which was evil -It is probable that
he tame under the influenee of iddle-
trous and wickets men as he began to
reign, and they led him to restore the
idol worship which his father had striv-
en to overthrow. Like unto the abom-
inations of the heathen-Inas/retell as
he knew the true God and turned
'away from his worship to that of the
heathen god, his sin was greater than
that of the heathen. Whom the Lord
had cast out -Reference is made to
those hea,teer nations who occupy Gan-
aan before -the Lord, gave it: to the :1.se
raelites. 3. He built again the high
places--Hezekiah 'had labored diligent-
ly to undo the work of Ahaz, Itis father,
and restore the worship of Jehovah, and
now Manasseh, the son of Hezekla.h, en
gaged zealously and wickedly to undo
the good work of his father and renew
the worshhip of idols. Altars for Baa-
lim-Baal was the title of the supreme
god of the Canaanite,, who was wor-

ven -They also worshiped the sun,
moon and stars.
4. Built altars in the house of the
land -His efforts to discredit and de-
stroy the God of Israel were deliberate
and determined. In' introducing heathen
worship into the temple he struck au
impious blow at the seeredness of the
worship of Jehovah, and to him and
his followers there could be no sacred.

rusalem shall my name be for ever -
See 2 Chron 7: 16. 6. In the two
courts of the house of the Lord -The
court of the priests and the court of
the people. 6. Caused his children to
pass through the • fire -He worshiped
Moloch, the god of the Ammonites. It
is believed that a part of this worship
consisted in placing children in the arms
of a brazen image of the god, while the
image was made hot by fires burning
within it, and .the sacrificing the child-
ren to the god. Hinnom--'the :valley

wore favorable or otherwise. -111.

14-20• That Manasseh's repentance
was genuine is shown by the fact that
God restored' him to his kingdom, and
also by hie' subsequent acts. He forti-
fied Jerusalem, he removed the idol from
the temple, he destroyed the heathen al-
tars, he repaired the altar of the Lord,
he restored the worship of the true God,
and attempted to lead Judah back to
the Lord.
Questions-Wllo was Manasseh? When
and where did he live? Who was his
father? What eau you say of Manasseh's
character? What heathen gode did he
worship? How did he desecrate the tum -
pis meant byassing through
tem-
ple?p ..
2
the fire? What was the valley of, .tere,
nam? What is meant by observing
times? How was :Manasseh punished?`
When and where did he repent? Was
his repentance thorough? How did the
Lord show him favor? •
"He built again the high places,, .his
father had broken down" (v. 3). He
'disregarded his father's teachings and
dishonored his memory. In contempt of
sacred things he "defied God to His
face, impudently affronted Him by put-
ting,his rivals right under His eye; he
was not afraid of God's wrath nor a-
shamed of his own wickedness." He
desecrated what had been consecrated.
He turned God out of His own home and
put rebels in possession. When faith-
ful worshippers came to the temple
they found to their grief false gods
waiting to receive their offerings.
"Se.anasseh shed innocent blood very
much" (2 Kings 21:16). They were not
criminals whom the wicked king put to
death, but inocent persons who were
martyred by public execution or private
assassination to gratify Manasseh's am-
bition or revenge. Every ecclesiastical
history says Isaiah was sawn asunder
by Manasseh'e order (Heb. 11;37) Out
of the heart proceed.. murders" (Matt.
15:119). Hatred and anger are murder
in Godes reckoning (1 John 3:15; Matt.
5:22, R. V..) "Take heed -lest there
be in any of you an evil heart" (Heb.
3;12). Manasseh also seduced the people
to do more evil than did the other na-
tions (2 Kings 21:9). The king forced
them under penalty of death to follow
false gods and live worse lives than
the heathen.

iet, "Before 1 was afflicted I went as-
