Note that 931BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

MANASSEH'S LONG REIGN Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem - In contrast to preceding kings listed by the chronicler, this time he does not include the mother's name (she is mentioned in 2Ki 21:1). Manasseh, who was born late in Hezekiah’s life after God extended his years (2 Kings 20:6), grew up to undo nearly all of his father’s godly work. This shows how quickly a nation can turn from righteousness to rebellion when its leaders abandon God’s Word. Proverbs 29:2 teaches, “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” The statement that Manasseh became king at twelve and reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem highlights both the tragedy of early corruption and the wonder of divine patience. His long reign serves as a warning of how deeply sin can entrench itself in a nation, but also as a testimony that God’s mercy remains available even to the most hardened sinner who turns back to Him in humility and repentance.
