Manasseh's prayer of repentance from Assyrian imprisonment — 'when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors' — represents the most dramatic conversion narrative in Chronicles. Manasseh is described in 2 Kings 21 as the most wicked king in Judah's history, whose sins caused the eventual exile; Chronicles' added narrative of his repentance and restoration is absent from Kings and raises historical-critical questions about the Chronicler's theological purposes. The Prayer of Manasseh in the deuterocanonical literature expands this biblical moment into a full penitential text, indicating the theological importance the tradition attached to this conversion. The verse illustrates the Chronicler's characteristic theological principle: immediate humble repentance consistently results in divine favor, regardless of the magnitude of prior sin.
