Contextual Overview

11 Therefore Adonai brought against them the commanders of the king of Ashur's army. They took M'nasheh captive with hooks, bound him in chains and carried him off to Bavel. 12 Then, when he was in distress, he began to appease the anger of Adonai , abjectly humbling himself before the God of his ancestors. 13 He prayed to him; and God was moved by his plea, paid attention to his entreaty and brought him back to Yerushalayim, to his kingly office. Then M'nasheh understood that Adonai really is God. 14 After this he built an outer wall for the City of David on the west side of Gichon, in the valley, extending as far as the entrance at the Fish Gate; it encompassed the ‘Ofel, and he built it very high. He stationed army commanders in all the fortified cities of Y'hudah. 15 He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of Adonai and all the altars he had built on the hill of the house of Adonai and in Yerushalayim, and threw them out of the city. 16 He repaired the altar of Adonai and offered on it sacrifices as peace offerings and for thanksgiving; and he ordered Y'hudah to serve Adonai the God of Isra'el. 17 However, the people continued sacrificing on the high places, although only to Adonai their God. 18 Other activities of M'nasheh, his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Adonai the God of Isra'el are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el. 19 Also his prayer and how God was moved by his plea, all his sin and disloyalty, and the locations where he built high places and set up the sacred poles and carved images before he humbled himself are written in the History of the Seers. 20 Then M'nasheh slept with his ancestors and was buried at his own house, and Amon his son took his place as king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh,.... Good and bad, what were done by him both before and after his conversion:

and his prayer unto his God; which it seems was taken and recorded, but now lost; for as for that which is among the apocryphal writings, there is no reason to believe it to be his, though it is thought to be so by many o:

and the words of the seers; or the prophets, as the Targum; and the prophets in his days, according to the Jewish chronology p, were Joel, Nahum, and Habakkuk:

that spake to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel; words of admonition and reproof before his humiliation, and words of comfort, advice, and instruction, after it; the Targum is,

"that spake to him in the name of the Word of the Lord God of Israel:''

behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel; not in the canonical book so called, where none of the above things, namely, his prayer, and the speeches of the prophets, are to be found, at least not all; but in the annals of the kings of Israel, now lost.

o Vid. Fabritii Bibliothec. Graec. l. 3. c. 31. p. 738, 739. p Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “prayer of Manasseh,” preserved to us in some manuscripts of the Septuagint, has no claim to be considered the genuine utterance of the Jewish king. It is the composition of a Hellenistic Jew, well acquainted with the Septuagint, writing at a time probably not much anterior to the Christian era.

The words of the seers that spake to him - See 2 Kings 21:11-15.

In the book of the kings of Israel - The writer of Chronicles usually speaks of “the book of the kings of, Judah and Israel” (or “Israel and Judah”). Here be designates the same compilation by a more compendious title, without (apparently) any special reason for the change. Compare 2 Chronicles 20:34.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 33:18. The words of the seers that spake to him — "Which were spoken to him in the name of the WORD of the Lord God of Israel." - Targum.
