This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_33:13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [was] God.
Ver. 13. And prayed to him.] His afflictions, like Benhadad’s best counsellors, sent Manasseh with a cord about his neck, to the merciful King of Israel.
And he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication.] Note this against those old and our new Novatians. Despair not of mercy, though never so sinful; but know, that if men can find a praying heart, God will find a pitying heart.
And brought him again to Jerusalem.] How, and by what means, is not recorded. The Lord knoweth how to deliver his. {2Pe_2:9}
Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.] This lesson he had learned in the school of BabyIon. Christianorum Theologia, Crux, saith Luther. The cross had taught Manasseh more of God than ever he knew before.
