2 Kings 24:3

Just as the Lord had announced, he rejected Judah because of all the sins which Manasseh had committed. ¹ 

Surely these things happened to Judah according to the LORD’s command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done,

Surely at the command of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,

These disasters happened to Judah according to the LORD’s command. He had decided to remove Judah from his presence because of the many sins of Manasseh.

None of this was by chance--it was GOD's judgment as he turned his back on Judah because of the enormity of the sins of Manasseh--Manasseh, the killer-king,

Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;

Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the LORD, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, for all that he had committed,

Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,

Just as the Lord had announced, he rejected Judah because of all the sins which Manasseh had committed. ¹
