Manasseh’s story, found in 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33, reveals both the tragic consequences of leading a nation into idolatry and the incredible reach of God’s mercy. His transformation from a rebellious king to a humbled servant of God illustrates how genuine repentance can restore, even if the consequences of sin linger.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
Numbers 6:24-25 (NIV)
