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.

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.
