(2 Kings:21.2) Manasseh began to reign at twelve years of age. Since he did not have the conditions to run the kingdom of Judah, he was instructed by evil counselors, who disregarded the spiritual revival promoted by Hezekiah.

” Manasseh became wicked and abominable, and his government was the opposite of that of his father’s. “

He insulted God in such a way, that he had the audacity to place idols inside the Temple
and even burn his own son as a sacrifice to them(2 Kings:21.3-6).
