2 Kings 21:15

15 I will do this because they have done what I consider evil and have been making me furious from the time their ancestors left Egypt until this day."

2 Kings 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:15

Because they have done that which was evil in my sight
Committed idolatry:

and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth
out of Egypt, even to this day;
being always prone to idolatry, so provoking to God, and which they were guilty of quickly after they came out of Egypt, in the worship of the golden calf, and had ever since at times been criminal this way; and now the measure of their iniquity being almost up, would be reckoned for together.

2 Kings 21:15 In-Context

13 I will measure Jerusalem with the measuring line used for Samaria and the plumb line used for Ahab's dynasty. I will wipe out Jerusalem in the same way that a dish is wiped out and turned upside down.
14 I will abandon the rest of my people. I will put them under the control of their enemies, and they will become property that their enemies capture.
15 I will do this because they have done what I consider evil and have been making me furious from the time their ancestors left Egypt until this day."
16 In addition to his sin that he led Judah to commit in front of the LORD, Manasseh also killed a lot of innocent people from one end of Jerusalem to the other.
17 Isn't everything else about Manasseh--everything he did, the sins he committed--written in the official records of the kings of Judah?
