As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh
This phrase introduces a summary of King Manasseh's reign, suggesting that what follows is a mere glimpse into his life and deeds. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, emphasizing the importance of actions in biblical narratives. Manasseh's reign was marked by significant idolatry and later repentance, illustrating the profound impact of a leader's actions on a nation.

including his prayer to his God
Manasseh's prayer is a pivotal moment in his life, reflecting a return to faith and repentance. The Hebrew word for "prayer" (תְּפִלָּה, tefillah) signifies a heartfelt plea or supplication. This prayer is a testament to God's mercy and willingness to forgive those who genuinely repent, highlighting the transformative power of sincere prayer in the believer's life.

and the words of the seers who spoke to him
Seers, or prophets, played a crucial role in guiding the kings of Israel and Judah. The Hebrew term for "seers" (חֹזִים, chozim) indicates those who have visions or divine insight. These individuals were God's messengers, calling leaders back to righteousness. Their words to Manasseh underscore the importance of heeding divine warnings and the consequences of ignoring God's guidance.

in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel
This phrase emphasizes the authority and divine origin of the seers' messages. The "LORD" (יהוה, Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, reminding the reader of His eternal faithfulness to Israel. The phrase "the God of Israel" reinforces the special relationship between God and His chosen people, underscoring His desire for their obedience and devotion.

they are indeed written in the annals of the kings of Israel
The "annals" (דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים, divrei hayamim) refer to historical records, suggesting that Manasseh's deeds were documented for posterity. This phrase highlights the importance of historical records in preserving the lessons of the past. It serves as a reminder that the actions of leaders are scrutinized and remembered, encouraging accountability and integrity.

CONCLUSION OF THE REIGN (2Chronicles 33:18-20).

(18) His prayer unto his God.--This prayer may or may not have been the basis of the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses, preserved in the LXX.

The words of the seers that spake to him.--See Note on 2Chronicles 33:10, supr. These "words of the seers" were incorporated in the great history of the kings, which is mentioned at the end of the verse, and which was one of the chronicler's principal authorities.

Written.--This word, though wanting in our present Hebrew text, is read in some MSS., and in the Syriac, Targum, and Arabic.

The book.--The history, literally, words. 2Kings 21:17 refers, as usual, to the "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah."

Verse 18. - The parallel again obtains (2 Kings 21:17, 18), but in shorter form. His prayer. This is for the present, at any rate, lost, the apocryphal and the Septuagint manuscript version of it alike not genuine. The words of the seers. So again our compiler shows undesigned correspondence with the writer of the parallel, as above quoted (2 Kings 21:10-15). As to the original authorities quoted here, book of the kings, etc., and next verse, "the sayings of the seers," see Introduction, vol. 1. § 5.
