The book of Kings does not mention Manasseh’s repentance. It only tells of the promised judgment due to his wicked deeds (see 2 Kings 21:10–16). Chronicles describes the good things he did after repenting, following his father Hezekiah’s example. However, Manasseh’s actions could not turn the people's hearts back to the Lord or stop God’s judgment on Judah (2 Chronicles 33:17).
