    Description

    Who was Manasseh?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Manasseh was the fourteenth king of Judah, succeeding his father, Hezekiah. He began his reign at the age of twelve and ruled for fifty-five years, making him the longest-reigning king of Judah. However, Manasseh's reign was marked by evil and idolatry. He rebuilt the high places that his father had destroyed, erected altars for Baal, and made an Asherah pole. He even sacrificed his own son and practiced sorcery and divination. Manasseh's actions led the people of Judah astray, and they did more evil than the nations that God had destroyed before the Israelites. As a result, God announced judgment on Judah and Jerusalem, stating that He would wipe them out like a dish, turning it upside down. Manasseh also shed much innocent blood, filling Jerusalem from end to end. However, when Manasseh was captured by the Assyrians and taken to Babylon, he humbled himself before God and prayed. God heard his prayer and restored him to Jerusalem, where Manasseh acknowledged the Lord as God and attempted to undo some of the evil he had done. Despite this, the damage to Judah was severe, and the nation continued to face the consequences of Manasseh's sins even after his death. Manasseh was buried in his palace garden, and his son Amon succeeded him as king.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Manasseh10 of 18 entities the graph connects to Manasseh, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 9. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour.
