2 Kings, chapter 21, tells of rule of the evil king [[Manasseh]] over the southern [[Kingdom of Judah]] from 687 to 643 BC. He was the son and heir of [[Hezekiah]], a king who trusted God.
The chapter records that Manasseh was an evil king who reversed the good religious policies of his father. Manasseh had high places and altars to foreign gods built. Because of this trust in other gods, [[2 Kings 21:13]] records that God chose to bring judgement against Judah
: ''{{Bible verse|2 Kings|21|13|lang=WEB}}''
[[2 Chronicles 33]] records that Manasseh was captured by the Assyrian armies and taken prisoner, but repented and so was restored by God to his place as king of Judah.
Manasseh was succeeded by Amon.
