Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
33:12-17 The book of Kings does not mention Manasseh’s repentance, telling only of the promise of judgment resulting from his wicked deeds (see 2 Kgs 21:10-16). Chronicles tells the good things he did after he repented, following his father Hezekiah’s example. However, Manasseh’s actions were unable to turn the hearts of the people back to the Lord or to avert God’s judgment on Judah (2 Chr 33:17). 33:12 Manasseh’s response followed the requirements of Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the Temple (7:14).
