2 Chronicles 33:9-13

English Standard Version

⁹ Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.

Manasseh's Repentance

¹⁰ The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. ^11 (A)Therefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and ^(B)bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. ¹² And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God ^(C)and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. ¹³ He prayed to him, and ^(D)God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. ^(E)Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
