2 Chronicles 33:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ So he let Assyrian army commanders invade Judah and capture Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and tied him up in chains, and they took him to Babylon. ¹² While Manasseh was held captive there, he asked the Lord God to forgive him and to help him. ¹³ The Lord listened to Manasseh's prayer and saw how sorry he was, and so he let him go back to Jerusalem and rule as king. Manasseh knew from then on that the Lord was God.
