2 Chronicles 33:19

17 ^aNevertheless the people still sacrificed on the¹ high places, but only to the Lord their God.

Death of Manasseh

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of ^athe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, indeed they are written in the¹ book of the kings of Israel.

19 Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built¹ high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of² Hozai.

20 ^aSo Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.

Amon’s Reign and Death

21 ^aAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 33:19

His prayer also - What is called the Prayer of Manasseh, king of Judah, when he was holden captive in Babylon, being found among our apocryphal books, I have inserted it at the end of the chapter, without either asserting or thinking that it is the identical prayer which this penitent king used when a captive in Babylon. But, as I have observed in another place, there are many good sentiments in it; and some sinners may find it a proper echo of the distresses of their hearts; I therefore insert it.

Written among the sayings of the seers - "They are written in the words of Chozai." - Targum. So says the Vulgate. The Syriac has Hunan the prophet; and the Arabic has Saphan the prophet.
