John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

This chapter gives an account of the reign of Manasseh, of his idolatries and impieties, 2Ch 33:1, of his captivity, humiliation, repentance, and reformation, 2Ch 33:11 of his last end, death, and burial, 2Ch 33:18 and of the wicked reign of Amon his son, and of his death by his servants, 2Ch 33:21.

Ver. 1. Manasseh was twelve years old,.... From hence to the end of 2Ch 33:9 the same things are recorded, almost word for word, as in 2Ki 21:1, see the notes there.
