Manasseh's captivity and repentance
Judah's longest-reigning and most idolatrous king was taken with hooks to Babylon, and there he humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers; God heard his plea and returned him, and he knew that the LORD is God (2 Chronicles 33:11-13).

📖 2 Chronicles 33:10–12
10And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen. 11So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon. 12And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
