The evil of Manasseh and Amon (2Chr 33:1-25)
Manasseh receives the full blame for destroying all the good work that his father had done. Over his long reign of fifty-five years he dragged the nation down to its lowest spiritual condition ever.
Although he made a brief attempt at reform towards the end of his life, he could not undo the damage of the previous half a century.
Nor was any king after him able to reform Judah sufficiently to save it from judgment. Like Israel, Judah would go into captivity because of its wickedness (2Chr 33:1-20; see notes on 2 Kings 21:1-18).
If any trace of Manasseh’s reform remained after his death, Amon soon removed it (2Chr 33:21-25; see notes on 2 Kings 21:19-26).
