"Manasseh" refers both to the son of Hezekiah and to the eldest son of Joseph.

The geographic "Manasseh" is the area that the half-tribe of Manasseh

settled following Israel's entry into Canaan Land after 40 years of meandering

through the wilderness subsequent to their deliverance from Egyptian bondage. Manasseh was the only tribe of the twelve to settle land on both sides of the Jordan, extending from the Great Sea (Mediterranean) to the land of the Ammonites. Notable cities in their territory were Dothan, Shechem, Tirzah and Jabesh Gilead.

When was Manasseh of Judah born?

MANASSEH (Ma·nas′seh) [One Making Forgetful; One Who Makes Forget]. Joseph's firstborn son and a grandson of Jacob. After Joseph became Egypt's food administrator, Pharaoh gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, as a wife, and she bore Joseph two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, because, he said: "God has made me forget all my trouble and all the house of my father."-Ge 41:45, 50-52. When Jacob blessed Manasseh and Ephraim, he persisted in putting his right hand on Ephraim and his left on Manasseh, thereby placing the younger Ephraim before Manasseh. (Ge 48:13-20) As indicated thereby, Ephraim was to become greater than Manasseh. Manasseh had sons by a Syrian concubine (1Ch 7:14), and Joseph lived long enough to see the sons of Manasseh's son Machir.-Ge 50:22, 23. Insight on the Scriptures - Volume 2 (A Bible Encyclopedia)
