==Origin== Manasseh is recorded in the Bible as one of the most [[Idolatry|idolatrous]] kings of Judah ({{bibleverse|2|Kings|21:1β18|NIV}}; {{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|33:1β9|NIV}}). The [[second Book of Chronicles]], but not the [[second Book of Kings]], records that Manasseh was taken captive by the [[Assyria]]ns ({{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|33:11β13|NIV}}). While a prisoner, Manasseh prayed for mercy, and upon being freed and restored to the throne turned from his idolatrous ways ({{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|33:15β17|NIV}}). A reference to a penitential prayer, but not the prayer itself, is made in {{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|33:19|NIV}}, which says that the prayer is written in "the annals of the kings of Israel".
