列王纪下 21:16

此外,瑪拿西又流了許多無辜人的血,耶路撒冷,從這邊直到那邊,都滿了血。這還是在他使猶大人犯罪,去行耶和華看為惡的事那罪之外。

Contextual Overview

10 The Lord said through his servants the prophets, 11 "Manasseh king of Judah has done these hateful things. He has done more evil than the Amorites before him. He also has led Judah to sin with his idols. 12 So this is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says: ‘I will bring so much trouble on Jerusalem and Judah that anyone who hears about it will be shocked. 13 I will stretch the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, and the plumb line used against Ahab's family will be used on Jerusalem. I will wipe out Jerusalem as a person wipes a dish and turns it upside down. 14 I will throw away the rest of my people who are left. I will give them to their enemies, and they will be robbed by all their enemies, 15 because my people did what I said was wrong. They have made me angry from the day their ancestors left Egypt until now.'" 16 Manasseh also killed many innocent people, filling Jerusalem from one end to the other with their blood. This was besides the sin he led Judah to do; he led Judah to do what the Lord said was wrong. 17 The other things Manasseh did as king, even the sin he did, are written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah. 18 Manasseh died and was buried in the garden of his own palace, the garden of Uzza. Then Manasseh's son Amon became king in his place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood very much,.... Putting to death the prophets that reproved him and his people for their idolatries, and such who would not comply therewith; and it is commonly said, both by Jewish and Christian writers, that Isaiah was slain, and even sawn asunder by him, :-,

till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; a metaphor taken from filling a vessel brimful:

beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; the sin of idolatry he drew them into, and even obliged them to commit.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Jeremiah 2:30; Hebrews 11:37; Isaiah 57:1-4. According to tradition, Isaiah was among the first to perish. More than a century afterward, the final judgment upon Jerusalem was felt to be in an special way the punishment of Manasseh’s bloody persecution of God’s people (marginal reference).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 21:16. Shed innocent blood very much — Like the deities he worshipped, he was fierce and cruel; an unprincipled, merciless tyrant: he slew innocent people and God's prophets.
