2 Chronicles 33:19

19 His prayer and how God was touched by his prayer, a list of all his sins and the things he did wrong, the actual places where he built the pagan shrines, the installation of the sex-goddess Asherah sites, and the idolatrous images that he worshiped previous to his conversion - this is all described in the records of the prophets.

2 Chronicles 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.

2 Chronicles 33:19 In-Context

17 But the people didn't take him seriously - they used the name "God" but kept on going to the old pagan neighborhood shrines and doing the same old things.

18 The rest of the history of Manasseh - his prayer to his God, and the sermons the prophets personally delivered by authority of God, the God of Israel - this is all written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

19 His prayer and how God was touched by his prayer, a list of all his sins and the things he did wrong, the actual places where he built the pagan shrines, the installation of the sex-goddess Asherah sites, and the idolatrous images that he worshiped previous to his conversion - this is all described in the records of the prophets.

20 When Manasseh died, they buried him in the palace garden. His son Amon was the next king.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He was king for two years in Jerusalem.
