Chronicles 36:17-21 Therefore he brought upon them the
king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of
their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or
him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
38:18 And
all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the
house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all
these he brought to Babylon.
36:19 And
they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt

1). The
sins of Manasseh are many, he sinned and he caused Judah to sin against God
more than any previous king of Judah or Israel.
a). 2
Kings 21:2-7 And he did that which was evil in
the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast
out before the children of Israel.
21:3 For
he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and
he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and
worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
21:4 And
he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said,
In Jerusalem will I put my name.
21:5 And
he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of
the Lord.
21:6 And
he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used
enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much
wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
21:7 And
he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said
to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have
chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
2). It
was because of this that the judgment of God fell upon Jerusalem and Judah, in
particular as we shall see in the next verse, the shedding of innocent blood.
a). 2
Kings 21:10-16 And
the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
21:11 Because
Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly
above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah
also to sin with his idols:
21:12 Therefore
thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil
upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall
tingle.
21:13 And
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house
of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and
turning it upside down.
21:14 And
I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand
of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their
enemies;
21:15 Because
they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger,
since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
21:16 Moreover
Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one
end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that
which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
