Verse 18 is found in chapter 21 of 2 Kings. Manasseh is also accused of shedding much innocent blood, filling Jerusalem with violence. The narrative connects idolatry and social violence, showing that deterioration in worship does not remain confined to the religious sphere. The reign ends with Manasseh’s death and burial. His long rule demonstrates that duration and temporary prosperity do not constitute divine approval. The narrator establishes that a king’s evaluation depends on faithfulness to the Lord and on the consequences of his decisions for the community.
