2Ch 33:6
33:6 {a} And he caused his children to pass through the fire in
     the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times,
     and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with
     a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil
     in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

     (a) Read @2Ki 16:3.

2Ch 33:8
33:8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out
     of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so
     that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded
     them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the
     ordinances by the {b} hand of Moses.

     (b) By the charge given to Moses.

2Ch 33:10
33:10 And the LORD spake {c} to Manasseh, and to his people: but
      they would not hearken.

      (c) Meaning by his prophets, but their hearts were not
          touched to believe and repent, without which the
          preaching of the word has no effect.

2Ch 33:13
33:13 And prayed unto him: and he was {d} intreated of him, and
      heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem
      into his kingdom.  Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he
      [was] God.

      (d) Thus affliction gives understanding: for he that hated
          God in his prosperity now in his misery seeks him.

2Ch 33:14
33:14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David,
      on the west side of {e} Gihon, in the valley, even to the
      entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about {f}
      Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put
      captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

      (e) Read @2Ch 32:30.
      (f) Read @2Ch 27:3.

2Ch 33:16
33:16 And he repaired the {g} altar of the LORD, and sacrificed
      thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded
      Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

      (g) Which Solomon had caused to be made.

2Ch 33:17
33:17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high
      places, [yet] unto the {h} LORD their God only.

      (h) Thus by ignorance they were deceived, thinking it
          nothing to keep the altars, so that they worshipped
          God: but it is idolatry to worship God any other way
          than he has appointed.

2Ch 33:18
33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his {i} prayer
      unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him
      in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are
      written] in the book of the kings of Israel.

      (i) Which although it is not contained in the Hebrew, yet
          because it is here mentioned and is written in the
          Greek, we have placed it in the end of this book.

2Ch 33:20
33:20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in
      his own {k} house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

      (k) Because he had so horribly offended against the Lord,
          they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings,
          but in the garden of the king's house.
