Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem." — Jeremiah 15:4 (ASV)

Manasseh the son of Hezekiah. —The horror of that long and evil reign still lingered in the minds of people, and the prophet saw in it the beginning of the evils from which his people were now suffering. The name of Hezekiah may have been inserted as an aggravation of the guilt of his successor.
