Context of 2 Chronicles 33:19
17The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God. 18The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel. His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers. 20Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king. 21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
