Expanded Bible

¹¹ So the Lord brought the king of Assyria’s army commanders to attack Judah. They captured Manasseh, put hooks in him [^Cin his nose], ·placed bronze chains on his hands [bound him with bronze chains], and took him to Babylon. ¹² ·As Manasseh suffered [^LWhen he was in distress], he ·begged [entreated; ^Lsought] the Lord his God for help and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ·ancestors [fathers]. ¹³ When Manasseh prayed, the Lord heard ·him [^Lhis plea] and ·had pity on him [was moved]. So the Lord ·let him return [brought him back] to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is the true God.
