Context of 2 Chronicles 33:19
17The people continued to sacrifice at the illegal places of worship, but they sacrificed only to the Lord their God. 18Everything else about Manasseh—including his prayer to his God and the words that the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel—are in the records of the kings of Israel. His prayer and how God accepted it are written in the records of Hozai. The things he did before he humbled himself are also written there. This includes all his sins and unfaithfulness and the places where he built illegal worship sites and set up idols and poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah. 20Manasseh lay down in death with his ancestors. They buried him in his own palace. His son Amon succeeded him as king. 21Amon was 22 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 2 years in Jerusalem.
