God's Redemptive Discipline

Commentators emphasize that this severe punishment was not merely punitive but redemptive. Since Manasseh and his people "would not hearken" to God's words, God used the harsh reality of captivity to bring about repentance. This event serves as a powerful example of God using affliction to turn a hardened heart back to Him when grace is initially refused.
