Manasseh (Man living at the time of Exile and Return)

Manasseh was Hezekiah's son and Judah's longest-reigning king, and also its worst: he rebuilt the high places his father had torn down, practiced sorcery, and reportedly sacrificed his own son, filling Jerusalem with innocent blood. Assyrian records confirm he was taken captive to Babylon at one point, and 2 Chronicles says that captivity broke his pride and he genuinely repented, spending his remaining years trying to undo the damage he had done, though the reforms didn't outlast him. Manasseh is also the name of Joseph's elder son, ancestor of one of Israel's twelve tribes.
