2 Reyes 21:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:18

And Manasseh slept with his fathers
] Or died, after a reign of fifty five years, and a life of sixty seven:

and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza;
whether the burial of him here was his own choice, judging himself unworthy to lie with the kings of Judah, who had been guilty of such great sins, or whether the will of others, on the same account, is not certain; and as much at a loss are we for the reason of this garden being called the garden of Uzza, whether from Uzzah that died for touching the ark, ( 2 Samuel 6:6 2 Samuel 6:7 ) or from King Uzziah, ( 2 Kings 15:7 ) . The Jews buried in gardens in the times of Christ, who himself was buried in one, ( John 19:41 ) . The Romans had sometimes sepulchres in their gardens F7, Galba the emperor was buried in his gardens F8; and so had other nations. Cyrus king of Persia was buried in a garden F9:

and Amon his son reigned in his stead;
of whom we have the following account.

2 Reyes 21:18 In-Context

16 Adem谩s, Manas茅s derram贸 much铆sima sangre inocente hasta llenar a Jerusal茅n de un extremo a otro, aparte de su pecado con el que hizo pecar a Jud谩 para que hiciera lo malo ante los ojos del SE脩OR.
17 Los dem谩s hechos de Manas茅s, todo lo que hizo y el pecado que cometi贸, 驴no est谩n escritos en el libro de las Cr贸nicas de los reyes de Jud谩?
18 Y durmi贸 Manas茅s con sus padres, y fue sepultado en el jard铆n de su casa, en el jard铆n de Uza; y su hijo Am贸n rein贸 en su lugar.
19 Am贸n ten铆a veintid贸s a帽os cuando comenz贸 a reinar, y rein贸 dos a帽os en Jerusal茅n. El nombre de su madre era Mesulemet, hija de Haruz, de Jotba.
20 E hizo lo malo ante los ojos del SE脩OR, como hab铆a hecho su padre Manas茅s.
