Mannaseh's Shedding of "Innocent Blood"

“Shed innocent blood very much”: 2 Kings 21:16
The reference here is ambiguous and several interpretations have been offered:

1.   Child sacrifice (verse 6); 

2.   Oppression and persecution of the weak (Jer. 7:6; 22:3, 17; Ezek. 22:6-31); or

3.   The martyrdom of God’s prophets (verse 10).

A combination of all 3 is most likely, Jewish and Christian tradition alike report that Manasseh had Isaiah sawn in two inside a hollow log (Hebrews 11:37)."
