Intertextuality Pair

Jeremiah 15:4 → 2 Kings 23:26

Allusion

Later text

Jeremiah 15:4BSB

I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

Earlier text

2 Kings 23:26BSB

Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger.

Significance

Both texts identify Manasseh's sins as the specific cause of Judah's irrevocable judgment. Jeremiah 15:4 declares judgment "because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem," while 2 Kings 23:26 states that despite Josiah's unparalleled reforms, "the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger... because of all that Manasseh had done." The shared identification of Manasseh by patronymic ("son of Hezekiah") emphasizes the tragic irony that Judah's worst king was the son of its most faithful. Both passages affirm that even the most righteous king (Josiah) or the most fervent intercession (Jeremiah) cannot reverse the covenant curses triggered by Manasseh's abominations — a point of no return in Judah's history.

Found via: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — both texts stand at the same hinge of redemptive history: Manasseh's sins render Judah's judgment irrevocable, so that neither Josiah's reforms (2 Kings 23:26) nor Jeremiah's intercession (Jer 15:1-4) can turn back the exile; the prophetic word and the Deuteronomistic verdict converge to move the story from monarchy into exile.
