2 Kings 21:21

At Manasseh’s death, the idolatrous party, held in some check during his later years 2 Chronicles 33:15, recovered the entire direction of affairs, and obtained authority from Amon to make once more all the changes which Manasseh had made in the early part of his reign. Hence, we find the state of things at Josiah’s accession 2 Kings 23:4; Zephaniah 1:4; Zephaniah 3:1, the exact counterpart of that which had existed under Manasseh.
