Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Manasseh during his minority naturally fell under the influence of the chief Jewish nobles, with whom the pure religion of Yahweh was always unpopular (compare Ch2 24:17-18; Jer 8:1-2). They seem to have persuaded him, not only to undo Hezekiah's work, but to proceed to lengths in polytheism, magic, and idolatry, unknown before. The sins of Manasseh's reign appear to have been those which filled up the measure of Judah's iniquity, and brought down the final sentence of doom on the last remnant of the chosen people (Kg2 23:26; compare Jer 15:4). |

4 And I will cause [05414] them to be removed [02189] [02113] into all kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776], because [01558] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063], for that which he did [06213] in Jerusalem [03389].
26 Notwithstanding the LORD [03068] turned [07725] not from the fierceness [02740] of his great [01419] wrath [0639], wherewith his anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Judah [03063], because of all the provocations [03708] that Manasseh [04519] had provoked [03707] him withal.
1 At that time [06256], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], they shall bring out [03318] the bones [06106] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and the bones [06106] of his princes [08269], and the bones [06106] of the priests [03548], and the bones [06106] of the prophets [05030], and the bones [06106] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], out of their graves [06913]:
2 And they shall spread [07849] them before the sun [08121], and the moon [03394], and all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], whom they have loved [0157], and whom they have served [05647], and after [0310] whom they have walked [01980], and whom they have sought [01875], and whom they have worshipped [07812]: they shall not be gathered [0622], nor be buried [06912]; they shall be for dung [01828] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127].
17 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Jehoiada [03077] came [0935] the princes [08269] of Judah [03063], and made obeisance [07812] to the king [04428]. Then the king [04428] hearkened [08085] unto them.
18 And they left [05800] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], and served [05647] groves [0842] and idols [06091]: and wrath [07110] came upon Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] for this their trespass [0819].
