-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 "2Ki 21:18"; there; to which may be added, that the Jews in later times buried in a garden; though it was the custom of the ancients, both Greeks and Romans , 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 2Ki 21:18.
