Context of 2 Chronicles 33:19
17However, the people still sacrificed at the pagan shrines, though only to the Lord their God. 18The rest of the events of Manasseh’s reign, his prayer to God, and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded in The Book of the Kings of Israel. Manasseh’s prayer, the account of the way God answered him, and an account of all his sins and unfaithfulness are recorded in The Record of the Seers. It includes a list of the locations where he built pagan shrines and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself and repented. 20When Manasseh died, he was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the next king. 21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
