Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 21:2

2 Kings 21:2. He did evil in the sight of the Lord Through his own vicious inclinations, and the instigation of the wicked princes of Judah, who in Hezekiah’s time were secret enemies to the reformation which he was endeavouring to effect; and now, when the restraint which they had been under was removed by his death, broke forth into open hostility against it, and corrupted the king’s tender years with their wicked counsels. After the abominations of the heathen It had been his father’s... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 21:3-5

2 Kings 21:3-5. He built up again the high places Trampling upon the dust of his worthy father, and affronting his memory. And worshipped all the host of heaven The sun, moon, and stars, which the Gentiles had transformed into gods. He built altars To the gods of the neighbouring nations, and to the host of heaven; in the house of the Lord Not only in Jerusalem, where the Lord had recorded his name, but even in the courts of the temple itself, both in that where the priests and... read more

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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 2 Kings 21:1

Manasseh = forgetting. So named because God had made Hezekiah forget his troubles (compare Joseph, Genesis 41:51 ). A sad name for him who became the worst of Judah's kings. His name appears second in a list of kings who brought gifts to Esar-haddon. twelve years. Therefore not born till the third of Hezekiah's fifteen added years. See note on 2 Kings 20:18 . Hephzi-bah = my delight is in her. Compare reference to the marriage in Isaiah 62:4 . A prophecy, given at the time of Hezekiah,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Kings 21:1

THE WICKED REIGNS OF MANASSEH AND AMONIn this short chapter, the fifty-five year reign of Manasseh - the longest in Judah's history - and the two-year reign of his son Amon are compressed and extremely abbreviated. The reason is simple enough. The evil reigns of these men deserved even less attention than they received here.A PARTIAL LIST OF MANASSEH'S ABOMINATIONS"Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Kings 21:2

2 Kings 21:2. He did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord— Hezekiah's first care had been to rout all idolatry out of his kingdom, and to restore the service of the temple to its pristine order and splendour. His graceless son, on the contrary, made it his study to banish religion and morality, to revive the old idolatry, and to introduce new and unheard of idols and ceremonies; besides witchcraft, sorceries, and every wicked custom which was used among the heathens far and near. Baal... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 21:1

1-3. Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign—He must have been born three years after his father's recovery; and his minority, spent under the influence of guardians who were hostile to the religious principles and reforming policy of his father, may account in part for the anti-theocratic principles of his reign. The work of religious reformation which Hezekiah had zealously carried on was but partially accomplished. There was little appearance of its influence on the heart and... read more
