XIV. AMON (642-640 B.C.)THE SHORT AND EVIL REIGN OF AMON"Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Anton sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more. And his servants conspired... read more

O. Amon 33:21-25Amon was an evil king, as Manasseh was, but he did not repent as his father had done. Consequently, rather than experiencing forgiveness and restoration, he died prematurely. He represented the other alternative the returned exiles could take. His fate would have been, and is, a warning to seek the Lord. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 33:1-25

The Reign of ManassehThis chapter repeats, with certain omissions, 2 Kings 21 but the section 2 Chronicles 33:11-17, relating the captivity in Babylon, repentance, and release of Manasseh, is supplementary to the account in 2 Ki.6. Observed times] RV ’practised augury’: perhaps, as the original suggests, by watching the motions of clouds.8. So that] RV ’if only’: God’s promises to Israel were conditional upon its obedience.11.

THE REIGN OF AMON (2 Chronicles 33:21-25. Comp. 2 Kings 21:19-26).(21) Amon was two and twenty years old.—So 2 Kings 21:19, which adds his mother’s name and parentage. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:22

(22) For Amon sacrificed.—Literally, and to all the carven images which Manasseh his father had made did Amon sacrifice. (Comp. 2 Kings 21:21, “and he walked in all the way wherein his father had walked, and served the idols which his father had served, and worshipped them.” Idols in the above passage is gillulîm, “dunglings,” a term nowhere used by the chronicler.) The statement of our text seems to imply that the “carven images” made by Manasseh had not been destroyed, but only cast aside.... read more

(23) And humbled not himself . . . more and more.—This verse is added by the chronicler.But Amon trespassed more and more.—Literally, for he, Amon, multiplied trespass. read more

(25) Slew.—Smote. The verse is identical with 2 Kings 21:24, save that it has “smote” plural instead of singular, which latter is more correct. It may be that the facts thus briefly recorded represent a fierce conflict between the party of religious reform and that of religious reaction, in which the latter was for the time worsted and reduced to a state of suspended activity.The chronicler has omitted the remarks usual at the end of a reign. See 2 Kings 21:25-26 for a reference to sources, and... read more

MANASSEH: REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS2 Chronicles 33:1-25In telling the melancholy story of the wickedness of Manasseh in the first period of his reign, the chronicler reproduces the book of Kings, with one or two omissions and other slight alterations. He omits the name of Manasseh’s mother; she was called Hephzi-bah-"My pleasure is in her." In any case, when the son of a godly father turns out badly, and nothing is known about the mother, uncharitable people might credit her with his... read more
