📚 Historical Context
Manasseh was the king of Judah who started his reign by promoting idolatry and leading his people into deep wickedness, reversing the reforms of his father Hezekiah. After being captured by the Assyrian army and taken to Babylon, he repented and cried out to God in prayer. God responded by restoring him to his kingdom in Jerusalem, which led Manasseh to acknowledge the Lord as the true God.
