📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of 2 Chronicles, King Manasseh of Judah ruled after his father Hezekiah and led the nation into deep idolatry, including worshiping false gods and engaging in practices that defied God's laws. God attempted to communicate with Manasseh and his people through prophets or direct warnings to call them back to faithfulness. Despite these efforts, they persistently refused to listen, which foreshadowed the judgment and hardships that would follow for Judah.
