2 Kings 21:16

21:16 Furthermore Manasseh killed so many innocent people, he stained Jerusalem with their blood from end to end, ⁴  in addition to encouraging Judah to sin by doing evil in the sight of the Lord. ⁵ 

[24:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and also the blood of the innocent which he shed, and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive.”

[19:32]  ² tn Heb “there.”

[19:32]  ³ tn Heb “[with] a shield.” By metonymy the “shield” stands for the soldier who carries it.
