THE MESSAGE
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king. He ruled for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. In God 's opinion he was a bad king—an evil king. He reintroduced all the moral rot and spiritual corruption that had been scoured from the country when God dispossessed the pagan nations in favor of the children of Israel. He rebuilt the sex-and-religion shrines that his father Hezekiah had torn down, he built altars and phallic images for the sex god Baal and the sex goddess Asherah and worshiped the cosmic powers, taking orders from the constellations. He built shrines to the cosmic powers and placed them in both courtyards of The Temple of God , the very Jerusalem Temple dedicated exclusively by God 's decree to God 's Name ("in Jerusalem I place my Name"). He burned his own sons in a sacrificial rite in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. He practiced witchcraft and fortunetelling. He held séances and consulted spirits from the underworld. Much evil—in God 's view a career in evil. And God was angry.

Contextual Overview
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled fifty-five years from Jerusalem. 2 Manasseh disobeyed the Lord by following the disgusting customs of the nations that the Lord had forced out of Israel. 3 He rebuilt the local shrines that his father Hezekiah had torn down. He built altars for the god Baal and set up sacred poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah. And he faithfully worshiped the stars in the sky. 4 In the temple, where only the Lord was supposed to be worshiped, Manasseh built altars for pagan gods 5 and for the stars. He placed these altars in both courtyards of the temple 6and even set up a stone image of a foreign god. Manasseh practiced magic and witchcraft; he asked fortunetellers for advice and sacrificed his own sons in Hinnom Valley. He did many other sinful things and made the Lord very angry. Years ago, God had told David and Solomon: Jerusalem is the place I prefer above all others in Israel. It belongs to me, and there in the temple I will be worshiped forever. 8 If my people will faithfully obey all the laws and teaching I gave to my servant Moses, I will never again force them to leave the land I gave to their ancestors. 9 But the people of Judah and Jerusalem listened to Manasseh and did even more sinful things than the nations the Lord had wiped out. 10 The Lord tried to warn Manasseh and the people about their sins, but they ignored the warning.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Manasseh was twelve years old,.... From hence to the end of 2 Chronicles 33:9 the same things are recorded, almost word for word, as in 2 Kings 21:1, see the notes there.
2 Kings 21:1- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare references and notes. The author of Chronicles differs chiefly from Kings in additions (see the 2 Kings 21:17 note). The central part of this chapter (2 Chronicles 33:11-19) is almost entirely new matter.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXIII
Manasseh reigns fifty-five years, and restores idolatry,
pollutes the temple, and practises all kinds of abominations,
1-9.
He and the people are warned in vain, 10.
He is delivered into the hands of the Assyrians, bound with
fetters, and carried to Babylon, 11.
He humbles himself, and is restored, 12, 13.
He destroys idolatry, and restores the worship of God, 14-16.
The people keep the high places, but sacrifice to the Lord on
them, 17.
His acts, prayer, and death, 18-20.
His son Amon succeeds him; and after a wicked idolatrous reign
of two years, is slain by his own servants in his own house,
21-24.
The people rise up, and slay his murderers, and make Josiah his
son king in his stead, 25.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXIII
Verse 2 Chronicles 33:1. Manasseh was twelve years old — We do not find that he had any godly director; his youth was therefore the more easily seduced. But surely he had a pious education; how then could the principles of it be so soon eradicated?
