- Hashem sent His prophets [i.e. Nachum and Chabakuk[1]] to tell the Jewish people the following prophecy: “Menashe has committed these abominations, and has done things even more wicked than all the Amorites who were there before him, and he caused Yehuda to sin with his idols. Therefore, I will bring such destruction and calamity to the Jewish people, that the two ears of people who hear of it will be unable to conceive it. I will wipe out Jerusalem as one who wipes a dish and turns it upside down. I will hand over the rest of the people to their enemies and they will be of disdain to all their captors, being that they have done evil in My eyes, and have constantly provoked Me since the day that their ancestors were redeemed from Egypt.”
- He was a murderer: Menashe shed a lot of innocent blood [of those who refused to bow to idolatry[2]], until he filled Jerusalem from one end to the other with corpses
- The remaining events of Menashe and all that he did, and his sins, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehuda.
- His death: Menashe passed away and was buried with his ancestors in his garden which was called the garden of Uzza.
- His successor: Amon, the son of Menashe, reigned in his stead.
