列王纪下 21:8 RCUVSS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 21:1-26

Manasseh’s evil reign (21:1-26)Hezekiah’s reformation had cleansed Judah of the outward forms of foreign religion, but the inward spiritual condition of most people had not changed. The faithful remnant was still small (see 19:30-31). Possibly under pressure from Assyria, Manasseh reversed his father’s religious policy and with almost fanatical zeal reintroduced foreign religious ideas of every kind. Fifty-five years under his rule left Judah in a worse spiritual condition than that for which... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 21:8

8. Neither will I make the feet of Israel move . . . out of the land which I gave their fathers—alluding to the promise (2 Samuel 7:10). only if they will observe, &c.—This condition was expressed from the first plantation of Israel in Canaan. But that people not only did not keep it, but through the pernicious influence of Manasseh, were seduced into greater excesses of idolatrous corruption than even the original Canaanites. read more

B. Manasseh’s Evil Reign 21:1-18Manasseh began reigning as vice-regent with his father Hezekiah when he was 12 years old in 697 B.C. This arrangement continued for 11 years until Hezekiah died in 686 B.C. For a total of 55 years Manasseh was king of Judah. He reigned longer than any Hebrew king, and he was Judah’s worst king spiritually."Manasseh was ’the Ahab of Judah’ and the antithesis of the great David." [Note: Wiseman, p. 291.] Among his other serious sins, Manasseh built idol altars in... read more

The Reigns of Manasseh and Amon3. The high places, etc.] Manasseh not only restored the country sanctuaries which had been destroyed by Hezekiah as seats of corruption (see 2 Kings 18:4, 2 Kings 18:22), and renewed the Baal worship practised by the house of Ahab (see 2 Kings 11:18, and cp. 1 Kings 16:31-32), but also introduced star worship, a form of religion previously unknown in Judah. The host of heaven] The worship of the stars, which was probably introduced from Assyria, was conducted on... read more

(8) Neither will I make the feet (foot) of Israel move (wander) . . .—Comp. the promise in 2 Samuel 7:10. The reference is to the migration to Egypt; and the thought is that the permanent possession of the Promised Land depends on the permanent adherence of the nation to Jehovah only.Only if.—If only.According to all.—Chronicles rightly has simply (to do) all; and so LXX., Syriac, Vulg., Arabic here.And according to all the law.—Omit and, with Chronicles and the Vatican LXX. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:1-26

MANASSEH'S WICKED REIGN (vv.1-18) Manasseh was 12 years old when he began to reign, therefore he was born three years after Hezekiah's sickness and recovery. But in contrast to his father, he was the most wicked king to ever reign over Judah. We may well wonder what his mother Hephzibah was like. His reign was a long one, - 55 years, - but he followed the example of the ungodly nations whom the Lord had dispossessed to give Israel the land (v.2). He rebuilt the high places that his father... read more
