9. But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10. The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
11. So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
12. In his distress he sought the favour of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
