king of See also:Judah (2 See also:Kings xxi. 1–18). His reign of fifty-five years was marked by a reaction against the reforming policy of his See also:father, and his persistent See also:idolatry and bloodshed were subsequently regarded as the cause of the destruction of See also:Jerusalem and of the See also:dispersion of the See also:people (2 Kings See also:xxiii. 26 seq.; Jer. xv. 4). As a See also:vassal of See also:Assyria he was contemporary with See also:Sennacherib, Esar-haddon (68r–668 B.C.) and See also:Assur-bani-See also:pal (668–626 B.C.), and his name (Me-na-si-e) appears among the tributaries of the two latter. Little is known of his See also:history. The chronicler, however, relates that the See also:Assyrian See also:army took him in chains to See also:Babylon, and that after his repentance he returned, and distinguished himself by his piety, by See also:building operations in Jerusalem and by military organization (2 Chron, xxxiii. 10 sqq.). The See also:story of his penitence referred to in xxxiii. 22, is untrustworthy, but the See also:historical See also:foundation may have been some See also:share in the revolt of the Babylonian Samas-sum-ukin (648 B.C.), on which occasion he may have been summoned before Assurbani-pal with other rebels and subsequently reinstated. See further See also: Driver, in See also:Hogarth, Authority and See also:Archaeology, pp. 114 sqq. Manasseh was succeeded by his son Amon, who after a brief reign of two years perished in a See also:conspiracy, his See also:place being taken by Amon's son (or See also:brother) See also:Josiah (q.v.). A lament formerly ascribed to Manasseh (cf. 2 Chron. xxxiii. 18) is preserved in the
Apocrypha (see See also:MANASSES, See also:PRAYER OF; and APOCRYPHAL LITERATURE). On Judg. xviii. 30 (marg.), see See also:JONATHAN.
