2 Chronicles 33:10-11 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:1-10

We have here an account of the great wickedness of Manasseh. It is the same almost word for word with that which we had 2 Kgs. 21:1-9, and took a melancholy view of. It is no such pleasing subject that we should delight to dwell upon it again. This foolish young prince, in contradiction to the good example and good education his father gave him, abandoned himself to all impiety, transcribed the abominations of the heathen (2 Chron. 33:2), ruined the established religion, unravelled his... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:11-20

We have seen Manasseh by his wickedness undoing the good that his father had done; here we have him by repentance undoing the evil that he himself had done. It is strange that this was not so much as mentioned in the book of Kings, nor does any thing appear there to the contrary but that he persisted and perished in his son. But perhaps the reason was because the design of that history was to show the wickedness of the nation which brought destruction upon them; and this repentance of Manasseh... read more

And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people ,.... By his servants the prophets, see 2 Kings 21:10 , where what was said to them is recorded: but they would not hearken ; to what was said, to reproofs, admonitions, and exhortations to repent and reform. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:11

Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria ,.... Who was Esarhaddon, the son and successor of Sennacherib; this, according to the Jewish chronology F6 Seder Olam Rabba, c. 24. p. 67. , was in the twenty second year of Manasseh's reign: which took Manasseh among the thorns ; in a thicket of briers and thorns, where, upon his defeat, he had hid himself; a fit emblem of the afflictions and troubles his sins brought him into: and bound him... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:1-20

Uncertain repentances. While the father Hezekiah filled one of the niches of the throe typical best kings, his son Manasseh, the thirteenth King of Judah, by mournful contrast, occupies one of those of the three worst of all the kings of both lines, the other two being Jeroboam and Ahab. His reign, filling the longest space of all, viz. fifty-five years, occupies but a very unequal space on the page of the present history, and a yet shorter in the parallel ( 2 Kings 21:1-18 ). Eventful... read more

The reign of Manasseh. I. ITS EARLY COMMENCEMENT . Manasseh, "One who forgets" (Gesenius)—an exceedingly appropriate name for one who in his lifetime forgat God and every good thing; in the inscriptions Minasi; perhaps so called "in allusion to the zeal with which the northern tribe had joined in Hezekiah's reforms" ( 2 Chronicles 30:11 ), or to the desire which prevailed in Hezekiah's reign for a union of the two kingdoms" (Stanley)—was twelve years old when he ascended his... read more

The penitent. In these words we have— I. THE LAST AND WORST SYMPTOM OF DEPARTURE FROM GOD — OBDURACY . "The Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken" (verse 10). Sin reaches its extremity when it deliberately and determinately closes its ear against the recognized voice of God. A defiant refusal to listen when God is speaking to us is surely the ne plus ultra of iniquity; guilt can go no further (see Proverbs 2:1-22 :24 33). II. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:11

The contents of this and the following six verses (to the seventeenth) are not in the parallel, though their place there is plain. That parallel, however, supplies in its 2 Chronicles 33:16 a very forcible narration of the evil conduct of Manasseh in Jerusalem itself, so that he "filled" it with "innocent blood" from "one end to another." The King of Assyria ; i.e. either Esarhaddon, B.C. 680, or (though it is not probable) his son, Assur-banipal, B.C. 667-647. Among the thorns; ... read more
