It was Manasseh’s sin in particular that caused God to determine not to tolerate the people any longer but to destroy the temple, devastate the Holy Land, and send the people away into captivity. With the reign of Manasseh God’s toleration reached its limit, and He gave up the holy people, the holy temple, the holy city, and the Holy Land.
