Divrey Hayamim Bais 33:19

19 His tefillah also, and how He was entreated of him, and all his chattat, and his unfaithfulness, and the mekomot (sites, places) wherein he built high places, and set up Asherim and pesilim, before he was humbled; hinei, they are written among the records of Chozai.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 33:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 33:19

His prayer also
Was not only recorded in the above annals, but in the writings of another person after mentioned:

and how God was entreated of him;
heard his prayer, and showed him favour both in a temporal and spiritual way; for though the Jews would not allow that he was saved, or had a part in the world to come, eternal life F17, yet there appears no just reason why it should be so thought:

and all his sin, and his trespass;
his impieties, idolatries, and murders: and the places wherein he built high places; see ( 2 Chronicles 33:3 )

and set up groves;
statues in groves:

and graven images, before he was humbled;
see ( 2 Chronicles 33:7 2 Chronicles 33:22 ) ,

behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers;
or of Hosea, the name of a prophet who wrote the history of his own times; so the Targrim and Vulgate Latin version; and, according to the Jewish chronology F18, there was a prophet of this name in the times of Amon the son of Manasseh.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 33:19 In-Context

17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, albeit unto Hashem Eloheihem.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Menasheh, and his tefillah unto Elohav, and the divrei HaChozim that spoke to him b’Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel, hinei, they are written in the annals of the Melachim of Yisroel.
19 His tefillah also, and how He was entreated of him, and all his chattat, and his unfaithfulness, and the mekomot (sites, places) wherein he built high places, and set up Asherim and pesilim, before he was humbled; hinei, they are written among the records of Chozai.
20 So Menasheh slept with Avotav, and they buried him in his own bais; and Amon bno reigned in his place.
21 Amon was 22 shanah when he began to reign, and reigned two shanim in Yerushalayim.
