One anoints (kings) [kings sons of kings]²³Corrector’s addition from B, not found in Yerushalmi sources. The mention of Jehu shows that the scribe’s text is the correct one. only because of disputes.

Is it not written¹⁹1S. 17:20., do anoint him, for this one is it, this one needs anointing, but the kings of Israel do not need anointing?

He fled to a cedar tree, the cedar swallowed him, except to a ṣiṣit of his coat. They came and reported it before him. He said, go and cut down the cedar.

Because of all the rages by which Manasse enraged him¹⁸⁵2K. 23:26, an almost correct quote.. Let us say, before he repented.

And is there not written¹⁸⁷2K. 21:16.: Also innocent blood did Manasse spill, a great deal, until he filled Jerusalem from mouth to mouth? How is it possible for flesh and blood to fill Jerusalem with innocent blood from mouth to mouth?
