2 Chronicles 33:10 In-Context

8 He had promised, "Never again will I let my people Israel wander off from this land I've given to their ancestors. But on this condition, that they keep everything I've commanded in the instructions my servant Moses passed on to them."
9 But Manasseh led Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem off the beaten path into practices of evil exceeding even the evil of the pagan nations that God had earlier destroyed.
10 When God spoke to Manasseh and his people about this, they ignored him.
11 Then God directed the leaders of the troops of the king of Assyria to come after Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose, shackles on his feet, and took him off to Babylon.
12 Now that he was in trouble, he went to his knees in prayer asking for help - total repentance before the God of his ancestors.
