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 quando começou a reinar, e reinou cinquenta e cinco anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hefzibá.

2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme as abominações das nações que o Senhor desterrara de diante dos filhos de Israel.

3 Porque tornou a edificar os altos que Ezequias, seu pai, tinha destruído, e levantou altares a Baal, e fez uma Asera como a que fizera Acabe, rei de Israel, e adorou a todo o exército do céu, e os serviu.

4 E edificou altares na casa do Senhor, da qual o Senhor tinha dito: Em Jerusalém porei o meu nome.

5 Também edificou altares a todo o exército do céu em ambos os átrios da casa do Senhor.
