Context — Manasseh’s Repentance and Restoration
13And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition. So He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
14After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and he brought it around the hill of Ophel and heightened it considerably. He also stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, along with all the altars he had built on the temple mount and in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city.
16Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel. 17Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.Cross References

| 1 | 2 Chronicles 33:3–7 | For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven. Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven. He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever. |

In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.

But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

2 Chronicles 33:15 Summary
[This verse shows how Manasseh, the king of Judah, removed the false gods and idols from the temple and threw them away, demonstrating his newfound commitment to following the one true God. He did this after realizing that the LORD is the true God, as stated in 2 Chronicles 33:13. By removing these idols, Manasseh was taking a big step towards restoring pure worship in the temple, much like the Israelites were commanded to do in Deuteronomy 12:2-3. This verse reminds us that we too should seek to remove any sinful influences or 'idols' from our lives and focus on worshiping and following God alone, as encouraged in Matthew 22:37-38.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What prompted Manasseh to remove the foreign gods and idols from the house of the LORD?
Manasseh's actions were a response to his newfound understanding of God's sovereignty, as expressed in 2 Chronicles 33:13, where it is written that 'Manasseh knew that the LORD is God' after the LORD received his plea and heard his petition.
Why did Manasseh dump the foreign gods and idols outside the city?
By dumping the foreign gods and idols outside the city, Manasseh was symbolically removing the influence of false worship from the midst of God's people, much like the Israelites were commanded to destroy the idols of the nations they conquered in Deuteronomy 7:5.
How does this verse relate to the concept of repentance?
This verse illustrates the concept of repentance, as Manasseh turns away from his former idolatrous practices and towards the one true God, demonstrating a change of heart and a desire to follow God's commands, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10.
What can we learn from Manasseh's example in this verse?
We can learn the importance of removing sinful influences from our lives and seeking to worship and follow the one true God, as expressed in 1 John 5:21, which warns us to 'keep yourselves from idols'.
Reflection Questions
- What are some 'foreign gods' or idols that I may be harboring in my own heart, and how can I remove them to make room for a deeper relationship with God?
- In what ways can I, like Manasseh, demonstrate a change of heart and a desire to follow God's commands in my daily life?
- How can I ensure that my worship and devotion are directed solely towards the one true God, and not towards false or rival gods?
- What are some practical steps I can take to 'dump' the sinful influences and habits that are hindering my walk with God, just as Manasseh dumped the foreign gods and idols outside the city?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 33:15
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord,.... Which he had set there, 2 Chronicles 33:7 and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 33:15
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:15
2 Chronicles 33:15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.Ver. 15. And he took away the strange gods.] This he had promised to do, doubtless, in his distress; and now he doth it. "Vow, and perform to the Lord your God," &c. And cast them out of the city.] Saying unto them, "Get you hence." "What have I to do any more with idols?" This was his repentance from sin.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:15
(15) Took away the strange gods.—Comp. 2 Chronicles 33:3-7. For the phrase “strange gods” (ĕ ?lôhê nçkâr), see Genesis 35:2. The idol.—That is, the Asherah (2 Chronicles 33:3; 2 Chronicles 33:7; 2 Kings 21:7; 2 Kings 17:16). In the mount of the house.—The temple hill. Thenius says: the courts with the altars in them (2 Kings xxi 4, 5). Cast them out.—Comp. 2 Chronicles 29:16; 2 Chronicles 30:14 Manasseh’s reform was hardly complete, for some of his altars remained for Josiah to pull down (2 Kings 23:12).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:15
Verse 15. He took away the strange gods] He appears to have done every thing in his power to destroy the idolatry which he had set up, and to restore the pure worship of the true God. His repentance brought forth fruits meet for repentance. How long he was in captivity, and when or by whom he was delivered, we know not. The fact of his restoration is asserted; and we believe it on Divine testimony.
