33:1–20 Manasseh. Compare 2 Kings 21:1–10, 17–18. Kings presents Manasseh as the worst of Judah’s kings, whose sins make the exile inevitable. Chronicles presents him as an example of forgiveness and restoration.
2 Chron. 33:1 fifty-five years. 697–642 b.c., probably including a co-regency of 10 years with Hezekiah.
2 Chron. 33:2–9 These verses largely reproduce 2 Kings 21:2–9 (see notes).
2 Chron. 33:10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people. Compare 2 Kings 21:10–15. But they paid no attention. Manasseh and his people are like Judah’s final generation (2 Chron. 36:15–16).
2 Chron. 33:12–13 Compare 7:14.
2 Chron. 33:15–17 Manasseh’s reform involved removing the pagan religious symbols that he himself had put in place (vv. 3, 7). The reform centered on the temple, and little if any of it extended beyond Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the people continued to worship at the high places, rather than at the temple. Manasseh removed the idols (v. 15), but it is not stated that he destroyed them. Amon would later put the idols back to use. Later still, the good king Josiah would destroy them (34:4–7).
2 Chron. 33:19 faithlessness. See note on 1 Chron. 2:3–8.
33:21–25 Amon. Compare 2 Kings 21:19–24. During his brief reign (642–640 b.c.), Amon did not humble himself. Instead he incurred guilt more and more.
