The differences between the account of Manasseh in 2 Kings and in 2 Chronicles
have led to a number of traditions and interpretations with regard to this
infamous king. Historically, many have held to a 2 Kings view of a wicked
king, while an equal number have held to a 2 Chronicles view of a repentant
king. This article will examine these varied traditions in not only the biblical
literature, but also the writings of the second temple period and rabbinic literature.
