Kings & Prophets 16 End of the Southern Kingdom - Eyewitness Bible Series

Hezekiah was followed by his son, Manasseh. Manasseh was followed by his son, Amon. Amon was followed by his son, Josiah. Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, the late-in-life son of a proud, old man. Manasseh led the Southern Kingdom for fifty-five years. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. Manasseh rebuilt the places to worship false gods, listened to fortune tellers and sorcerers, and even burned his own children as sacrifices to false gods in the Valley of Hinnom. He also stooped to worship false gods in the Temple. He was so bad that God had the king of Assyria capture him, bind him with hooks and chains, and take him to Babylon. Although he eventually repented and made some changes, he caused immense spiritual damage to the Southern Kingdom, and would be the final straw that broke its back. Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned only two years. He was as evil as his father, but did not repent. His servants conspired against him and killed him.
