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 matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters of the kings of Israel;

19 and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.

20 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

21 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

22 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,
