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 listen. Manasseh led them into doing even more evil than the nations the LORD had wiped out before the Israelites.

10 The LORD spoke through his servants the prophets:

11 Judah's King Manasseh has done detestable things, things more evil than the Amorites had done before his time. He has caused Judah to sin with his images.

12 Because of this, the LORD, Israel's God, has said: I'm about to bring on Jerusalem and Judah such a great disaster that the ears of anyone who hears about it will ring.

13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the same line that I used to measured Samaria and the same mason's level that I used on Ahab's family. I will wipe Jerusalem clean the same way someone wipes a plate clean, wiping it clean then turning it facedown.
