2 Chronicles 33:11

Manasseh's Repentance

¹⁰ The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they didn’t listen. ¹¹ So He brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria. They captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon. ¹² When he was in distress, he sought the favor of Yahweh his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors.
