Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 33:1-20

N. Manasseh 33:1-20Manasseh was one of the few examples of an evil Judean king who became good. Nevertheless his many years of wickedness made captivity inevitable for Judah (2 Kings 23:26; Jeremiah 15:4)."Manasseh’s acts are . . . a calculated attempt to throw off the lordship of Yahweh, to claim independence from the Covenant, to drive him from the land which he had given Israel." [Note: McConville, p. 250.] "If Manasseh had searched the Scriptures for practices that would most anger 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. Among the thorns] RM ’with hooks’: a monument still exists which... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:3

(3) For.—And. (See margin.)Broken down.—2 Chronicles 23:17; 2 Chronicles 31:1 (“threw down”). Kings has “destroyed” (‘ibbad).Baalim.—The Baals—i.e., the different images of Baal. Kings has the singular, both here and in the next word, “groves,” or rather Asheras (‘Ashçrôth; Kings, ‘Ashçrah). The latter plural is rhetorical: Manasseh made such things as Asheras. (Comp. also the use of the plural in 2 Chronicles 32:31, and the passages there referred to.) Kings adds: “as Ahab king of Israel made.” read more

(4) Also he built . . . In Jerusalem.—Literally as Kings. Manasseh built altars in the Temple, as Ahaz had done (2 Kings 16:10, seq.).Shall my name be for ever.—A heightening of the phrase in Kings, “I will set mv name.” read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:6

(6) He.—Emphatic. Not in Kings.Caused his children . . . fire.—The plural, as in 2 Chronicles 28:3, is rhetorical. Kings, “his son.”In the valley of the son of Hinnom.—Explanatory addition by the chronicler.Also he observed times, and used enchantments.—And he practised augury and divination. Forbidden, Leviticus 19:26. The first words seem strictly to mean “observed clouds; “the second, “observed serpents.”And used witchcraft.—And muttered spells or charms. This word does not occur in the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:7

(7) And he set . . . had made.—And he set the carven image of the idol which he had made. “Idol” (sèmel) explains “Asherah,” the term used in Kings. Both “carven image “and “idol” (Authorised Version, figure) occur in Deuteronomy 4:16.The house of God.—Chronicles has added, of God, by way of explanation. The Temple proper is meant, as distinct from the courts.Before all.—Out of all.For ever.—Le’êlum, a form only found here (equivalent to le’ólâm). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:8

(8) Remove.—Kings has a less common expression, “cause to wander.”From out of (upon) the land (ground) which I have appointed.—Kings, with which the versions agree, has the certainly original “from the ground which I gave.”So that.—If only.And the statutes and the ordinances.—An explanatory addition. Kings has, “And according to all the Torah that Moses my servant commanded them.”By the hand.—By the ministry or instrumentality. The phrase is a characteristic interpretation of what we read in 2... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 33:9

(9) So Manasseh . . . heathen.—Literally, And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do evil more than the nations. Thenius thinks that the words and Manasseh. . . . astray, followed in the primary document immediately upon and he set the graven image in the house; the intermediate words being an addition by the editor of Kings. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:1-25

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
