2 Chronicles 33:10–16

¹⁰The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. ¹¹So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner,^z put a hook^a in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles^b and took him to Babylon. ¹²In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled^c himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. ¹³And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.

¹⁴Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon^d spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate^e and encircling the hill of Ophel;^f he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.

¹⁵He got rid of the foreign gods and removed^g the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. ¹⁶Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings^h on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.
