Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more
