2 Kings 21:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:11

Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations,
&c.] Before named, ( 2 Kings 21:3-7 ) ,

and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did that were before
him;
one of the seven nations of Canaan, a principal of them, and which is put for all the rest:

and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
the worship of them, as the Targum; which he did both by his edicts, and by his example.

2 Kings 21:11 In-Context

9 (But they wouldn't obey.) Manasseh misled Israel so that they did more evil things than the nations that the LORD had destroyed when the Israelites arrived in the land.

10 Then the LORD spoke through his servants the prophets:

11 "King Manasseh of Judah has done disgusting things, things more evil than what the Amorites who [were here] before him had done. Manasseh has also made Judah sin by [worshiping] his idols.

12 So this is what I, the LORD God of Israel, said: I'm going to bring such a disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears about it will ring.

13 I will measure Jerusalem with the measuring line used for Samaria and the plumb line used for Ahab's dynasty. I will wipe out Jerusalem in the same way that a dish is wiped out and turned upside down.
