Commentary

Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood very much,.... Putting to death the prophets that reproved him and his people fo r their idolatries, and such who would not comply therewith; and it is commonly said, both by Jewish and Christian writers, that Isaiah was slain, and even sawn asunder by him; see Gill on Heb 11:37 , till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; a metaphor taken from filling a vessel brimful: beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; the sin of idolatry he drew them into, and even obliged them to commit.
