Verse 16
Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood very much ,.... Putting to death the prophets that reproved him and his people for their idolatries, and such who would not comply therewith; and it is commonly said, both by Jewish and Christian writers, that Isaiah was slain, and even sawn asunder by him; see Gill on Hebrews 11:37 ,
till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another ; a metaphor taken from filling a vessel brimful:
beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord ; the sin of idolatry he drew them into, and even obliged them to commit.
