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

Ver. 20-25. So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house,.... That is, in the garden of his house,

:-; there; to which may be added, that the Jews s in later times buried in a garden; though it was the custom of the ancients, both Greeks t and Romans u, 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

2 Kings 21:18.
