2 Chronicles 33
1.Manasseh's wicked reign
3.He sets up idolatry, and will not be admonished
11.He is carried into Babylon
12.Upon his prayer to God he is released and puts down idolatry
18.His acts

25.The murderers being slain, Josiah succeeds him














And when he prayed to Him
This phrase highlights the act of prayer as a turning point in Manasseh's life. Manasseh, known for his idolatry and evil practices, finally turns to God in humility. This reflects the biblical principle that God is always willing to listen to a repentant heart, as seen in other scriptures like2 Chronicles 7:14, where God promises to hear from heaven if His people humble themselves and pray.

the LORD received his plea and heard his petition
This demonstrates God's mercy and readiness to forgive, even the most wayward individuals. The Hebrew word for "received" implies acceptance, showing that God does not hold grudges against those who genuinely repent. This is consistent with God's character throughout the Bible, as seen in the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), where the father eagerly receives his repentant son.

So He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom
This phrase indicates a physical and spiritual restoration. Historically, Manasseh was taken captive by the Assyrians, and his return to Jerusalem signifies God's power to restore not only individuals but also their circumstances. This mirrors the broader biblical theme of restoration, as seen in the return of the Israelites from Babylonian exile (Ezra 1:1-4).

Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God
This marks a profound transformation in Manasseh's understanding and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. It signifies a personal revelation and acceptance of God's authority, similar to Nebuchadnezzar's realization inDaniel 4:34-37. This acknowledgment is crucial in the biblical narrative, as it aligns with the first commandment to have no other gods before the LORD (Exodus 20:3).

What Does 2 Chronicles 33:13 Mean
And when he prayed to Him

• Manasseh had hit rock bottom—chained, exiled, and painfully aware of his rebellion (2 Chronicles 33:11-12).

• Instead of despair, he chose humility, echoing the invitation of2 Chronicles 7:14: “if My people…pray…I will hear.”

• Scripture consistently shows that genuine prayer turns the tide—think of Hezekiah’s desperate cry in2 Kings 20:2-5 or Jonah’s plea from the fish (Jonah 2:1-2).

• Manasseh’s decision modelsPsalm 34:4: “I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”

the LORD received his plea and heard his petition

• God’s response is immediate and personal; He “received” and “heard.” This fulfills promises likePsalm 34:17 (“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears”) andIsaiah 55:7 (“He will abundantly pardon”).

• No sin is too dark for His mercy—1 John 1:9 declares that confession leads to forgiveness and cleansing. Manasseh’s wickedness had been extreme (2 Kings 21:16), yet divine grace proves deeper still (Romans 5:20).

• The wording underscores God’s character: attentive, compassionate, faithful to His covenant love (Exodus 34:6-7).

So He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom

• Restoration was literal—chains removed, throne restored. It mirrorsJob 42:10, where God “restored his fortunes,” andJeremiah 29:14, “I will restore you from captivity.”

• The move from prison to palace showcases God’s sovereignty over nations and kings (Proverbs 21:1). He alone can reroute pagan captors and reopen palace doors.

• Spiritually, it foreshadows the Father running to embrace the prodigal (Luke 15:20-24). God not only forgives; He reinstates purpose and position.

Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God

• Knowledge here is experiential. After judgment and mercy, Manasseh finally echoes Mount Carmel’s cry: “The LORD, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39).

• Genuine repentance produces real change: he removes idols, repairs the altar, and commands Judah to serve the LORD (2 Chronicles 33:15-16).

• This is the essence ofPsalm 100:3, “Know that the LORD is God,” and2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” Transformation proves the encounter was authentic.

summary

Manasseh’s story in2 Chronicles 33:13 traces a straight line from humble prayer to divine hearing, from restoration to heart-level recognition of God. It reveals a Lord who listens, forgives, and reinstates, turning the vilest sinner into a living testimony that “the LORD is God.”

(13)He was intreated of him.--1Chronicles 5:20.

And brought him again to Jerusalem.--The Assyrian monarch after a time saw fit to restore Manasseh to his throne as a vassal king. The case is exactly parallel to that of the Egyptian kingNik- (Necho I.), who was bound hand and foot, and sent to Nineveh; after which Assurbanipal extended his clemency to his captive, and restored him to his former state in his own country. (See Schrader, p. 371.)

Then.--And.

That theLord he was God.--That Jehovah was the true God. (Comp.1Kings 18:39, where the same Hebrew words occur twice over.)

Verse 13. -And prayed unto him. The apocryphal "Prayer of Manasses" is not at all likely to be authentic.And brought him again to Jerusalem. The Targum gives many mythical tales as to how this deliverance was effected.Then Manasseh knew that. Did he not know, well know,before? So far as the mode of expression may in any degree warrant such a stretch of charity, what an idea it gives of the force with which grossest error will captivate eventhetaught; and with what force of a furious wind did the contaminating influence of idolatries all around sweep betimes before them - these very kings and chief men of Judah and Jerusalem! It is evident that there was always among the people a "remnant" who kept the faith. See here,e.g., the reference to the "innocent blood" shed in Jerusalem, no doubt bleed of those who would not consent to idolatry - blood of noble martyrs.
