#298: Manasseh and Amon

from True Wisdom

Wicked king follows the worse king of Israel who rivaled, and sometimes surpassed, the evil of the kings of the worst people of the land of Canaan. One of them God allowed to rule for 55 years and the other was only allowed to live for 2 years before being killed by his own subjects? Why the difference in treatment from God? Why was one allowed to lead Judah to sin for so many years and the other one cut off?Andrew and Robert read from 2nd Kings 21 and talk about the contrast and similarities between Amon and Manasseh.Send us Fan MailSupport the showQuestions or Comments?
