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 the people of Judah did not obey the Lord, and Manasseh led them to commit even greater sins than those committed by the nations whom the Lord had driven out of the land as his people advanced.
10 Through his servants the prophets the Lord said,
11 "King Manasseh has done these disgusting things, things far worse than what the Canaanites did; and with his idols he has led the people of Judah into sin.
12 So I, the Lord God of Israel, will bring such a disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that everyone who hears about it will be stunned.
13 I will punish Jerusalem as I did Samaria, as I did King Ahab of Israel and his descendants. I will wipe Jerusalem clean of its people, as clean as a plate that has been wiped and turned upside down.
