2 Reis 21:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:1

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign
So that he was born three years after Hezekiah's recovery from his sickness, and in the seventeenth year of his reign:

and reigned fifty five years in Jerusalem:
among which must be reckoned the time of his captivity in Babylon; his reign was the longest of any of the kings of Judah: and his mother's name was Hephzibah; the name the church goes by, and signifies, "my delight or pleasure is in her", ( Isaiah 62:4 ) , no doubt she was a good woman, or Hezekiah would not have made choice of her for a wife; it is a tradition of the Jews ^F1, that she was the daughter of Isaiah, whose name, they say, is not mentioned, because so wicked a king was unworthy of such a grandfather.

2 Reis 21:1 In-Context

1 Manassés tinha doze anos de idade quando começou a reinar e reinou cinquenta e cinco anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hefzibá.

2 Ele fez o que o SENHOR reprova, imitando as práticas detestáveis das nações que o SENHOR havia expulsado de diante dos israelitas.

3 Reconstruiu os altares idólatras que seu pai, Ezequias, havia demolido e também ergueu altares para Baal e fez um poste sagrado para Aserá, como fizera Acabe, rei de Israel. Inclinou-se diante de todos os exércitos celestes e lhes prestou culto.

4 Construiu altares no templo do SENHOR, do qual este havia dito: “Em Jerusalém porei o meu nome”.

5 Nos dois pátios do templo do SENHOR ele construiu altares para todos os exércitos celestes.
