Manasseh Reigned (aug 6, 716 BC – may 24, 662 BC)
Description:
He was 12 years old when he ascended the throne as the 14th king of Judah after David and ruled for 55 years (716-662 B.C.E.) in Jerusalem. Jewish tradition says that Isaiah was sawn in two at Manasseh's command. Very bad initially but Jehovah disciplined him and while in captivity, Manasseh repented, humbled himself, and prayed to Jehovah. God heard his request for favor and restored him to the kingship in Jerusalem. Josiah, his grandson, may have learned the truth from Manasseh.Added to timeline:
