2 Chronicles 33:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 20-25. So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him
in his own house
That is, in the garden of his house, (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:18); there; to which may be added, that the Jews ^F19 in later times buried in a garden; though it was the custom of the ancients, both Greeks ^F20 and Romans ^F21, to bury the dead in their own houses; hence sprung the worship of the Lares and Penates, the household gods: from hence to the end of the chapter is the same with ( 2 Kings 21:18-26 ) .

(See Gill on 2 Kings 21:18) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:19) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:20) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:21) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:22) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:23) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:24) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:25) (See Gill on 2 Kings 21:26)

2 Chronicles 33:20 In-Context

18 And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.

19 And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.

20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
