The Captivity of Judah

View All Lessons

Hezekiah’s son, Manasseh, was a very evil king. He led the people of Judah back into idolatry and wickedness, so God sent the Assyrians to conquer Judah. They captured Manasseh, put him in chains, and took him to Babylon. While in prison, Manasseh repents of his sin; he prays to God for help, and God delivers him. Miraculously, they send him back to Jerusalem to rule as vassal king. This lesson tells the wondrous story of his conversion.
