In his distress he sought the favor of the Load his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. The Load was moved by his entreaty and listened to his ple; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Load is God.
Manasseh removed the image from the temple of the Load as well as the alters he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem. The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places.
Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He did evil in the eyes of the Load, as his father had done. But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble himself before the Load; Amon's officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace.
Why?
No matter under what situation, if humble yourself before the Load you God, God may be moved by your entreaty. Even so much evil as Manasseh did.
sought the favor of the Load your God is another key point to be pleased by Load.
The people is uneasy to turn back to the God, continued to sacrifice at the high places. No one tell them what is the truth, and the situation and environment let them though it is a culture or tradition. 王與民的改變不一定是同步，所看見的不見得相同。改變民風需要時日及用心。
Behavior of Son and father may not be the same, the life is independent, people has their own responsibility to the have done.
How?
How much I have sought the favor of the Load my God, yes I do but no enough!
Do not think every one's mine is same as his father, To be a father should tell his son what is the Load his God.
King is very important to a kingdom, but the people of the kingdom are most important to the nation. The repentant is easy o a person but not so quick to a culture or tradition.
