Wiersbe - He was treated like a steer being led to the slaughter, and he deserved it. The city of Babylon was a second capital for Assyria at that time, and there they imprisoned him
2 Crônicas 33
Wiersbe writes "After his repentance, Manasseh tried to undo all the damage he had done to Jerusalem and Judah, but there was one place where he could make no changes—in the heart of his son Amon. The young man had been too influenced by his father’s sins to take notice of his new life of obedience, and there were no doubt people at court who encouraged Amon to maintain the old ways. Whereas Manasseh humbled himself before the Lord, his son Amon refused to do so (33:23), and the longer he sinned, the harder his heart became." but Amon multiplied guilt The phrase means he added sin upon sin. He did not merely continue existing idolatry; he increased it (2 Chron 33:22). The Hebrew multiplied guilt conveys accumulation, the picture of stacking guilt layer upon layer. There is no record of repentance, only escalation. Unlike Manasseh, who at least turned back late in life, Amon persisted in rebellion, refused correction and hardened himself against grace Iain Duguid: The Chronicler uses Amon’s reign as a contrast to the positive action of Manasseh in “humbling himself.” That becomes the focus of attention in the two reigns, an example for hearers to heed.
