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 The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.
19 His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.
20 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made.
