Manasseh (/ m ə ˈ n æ s ə /; Hebrew: מְנַשֶּׁה Mənaššé, "Forgetter"; Akkadian: 𒈨𒈾𒋛𒄿 Menasî [me-na-si-i]; Ancient Greek: Μανασσῆς Manasses; Latin: Manasses) was the fourteenth king of the Kingdom of Judah. He was the oldest of the sons of Hezekiah and Hephzibah (2 Kings 21:1).
Hezekiah was healed, married Isaiah's daughter, and they had sons, among them Rabashka and Manasseh. In the Book of Ein Yaakov And in the glosses of the Ba'ach (on Ether) a continuation of the Midrash is given, and it is told that when King Hezekiah's two sons, Rabashka and Manasseh, grew up, he led them on his shoulders to the beit midrash to ...
Jacob (Joseph's father) adopted Joseph's two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, so the boys might share in Jacob's inheritance equally with Jacob's own sons (Genesis 48:5). Manasseh is counted as the father of the Israelite Tribe of Manasseh, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Jacob also blessed Ephraim over his older brother (Genesis 48:20 ...

His son Manasseh ruled from his father's death until 642 BC, while Manasseh's son Amon ruled from 642 BC to 640 BC. Josiah ruled from 640 BC to 609 BC. [2] Manasseh was widely regarded as the most wicked king of Judah, so why he appears in this genealogy when other discreditable ancestors have been left out is an important question. W. D.
Manasses or Manasseh (/ m ə ˈ n æ s ə /; [1] Hebrew: מְנַשֶּׁה, Mənaše) is a biblical Hebrew name for men. It is the given name of seven people of the Bible, the name of a tribe of Israel, and the name of one of the apocryphal writings.
Some critics, however, view this as a postdiction, an eponymous metaphor providing an aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation [12] In the Biblical account, Joseph is one of the two children of Rachel and Jacob, a brother to Benjamin, and father to both Ephraim, and his first son, Manasseh; Ephraim ...
