Sculptile quoque, et conflatile signum posuit in domo Dei, de qua locutus est Deus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium ejus, dicens : In domo hac et in Jerusalem, quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israël, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he set a carved image: The Targumist says, "He set up an image, the likeness of himself, in the house of the sanctuary." In the parallel passage it is, "a graven image of the grove," or rather, Asherah or Astarte. Manasseh, as Bp. Patrick observes, seems to have studied to find out what God had forbidden in his law, that he might practice it: amost prodigious change from the height of piety in his father's time, into the sink of impiety in this!

in the house: 2 Kings 21:7, 2 Kings 21:8, 2 Kings 23:6

God had said: 2 Chronicles 33:4, 1 Kings 8:29, Psalms 132:13, Psalms 132:14

which I have: 2 Chronicles 6:6, 1 Kings 8:44, 1 Kings 8:48, 1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 11:32, Psalms 78:68

Reciprocal: Exodus 20:4 - General Leviticus 19:30 - reverence 2 Kings 23:4 - to bring Isaiah 3:8 - to provoke Isaiah 8:10 - for God Jeremiah 7:10 - which is called Jeremiah 7:30 - they Jeremiah 23:11 - in Ezekiel 5:11 - thou hast Ezekiel 43:8 - setting

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The idol - i. e. the Asherah (2 Kings 21:7 note), which receives here (and in Ezekiel 8:3, Ezekiel 8:5) the somewhat unusual name of semel, which some regard as a proper name, and compare with the Greek Σεμέλη Semelē.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 33:7. A carved image — "He set up an image, the likeness of himself, in the house of the sanctuary." The Targumist supposes he wished to procure himself Divine honours.
