2 Kings 24:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 The Lord sent groups of soldiers to attack towns in Judah. The soldiers came from Babylon, Syria, Moab and Ammon. The Lord sent them to destroy Judah. He had already sent his servants, the prophets, to warn the people of Judah about this. 3 The Lord had said that these things must happen. He had decided to send Judah away from himself because of the sins that King Manasseh had done. 4 Manasseh had murdered people who had not done anything wrong. Their blood was in the streets of Jerusalem. The Lord would not agree to forgive Manasseh for his sins.
