What number king was king manasseh?

Answer 1

If I counted correctly, King Manasseh would have been the 13th king of Judah. His father was Hezekiah, one of Judah's righteous kings. When King Hezekiah became sick to death, he was told he would die soon, but Hezekiah prayed fervently to be able to live and God promised him another 15 years. Three years later, Manasseh was born. When Manasseh was twelve years old, his father, Hezekiah, died and Manasseh became king. He was the most wicked of all the kings of either Judah OR Israel (which, today, we usually refer to as the "northern kingdom"; it's the portion that separated itself, preferring idol worship, after the death of King Solomon. II Kings 21:16, says Judah would be made desolate because King Manasseh had made the streets of Jerusalem to run red with the blood of innocent people. This included some of God's prophets as well. Jewish tradition says that after Isaiah, the prophet, told Manasseh to repent, he was taken outside and beheaded.
