Hi,
"[When King Menasheh decided to repent,] the ministering malachim sealed the openings, lest Menasheh's prayer ascend before Gd. The ministering malachim said before Gd: Master of the Universe! Will You accept the repentance of a man who worshipped idols and set up an idol in the Sanctuary?!
"He replied: If I would not accept his repentance, I would lock the door before all who repented!
"What did Gd do? He tunneled beneath His throne of honour and heard his prayer."
(Talmud Yerushalmi, Sanhedrin 10:2)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Concealing the name of the wicked
Hi,
Most prophets are introduced in their texts with the list of kings during whose reign they prophesied. However:
"Yoel, Nachum and Chavakuk prophesied in the days of King Menasheh. Because Menasheh was not kosher, they were not identified with his name."
(Midrash, Seder Olam 20)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
