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 rule. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which often refers to deeds or works. Manasseh's reign was marked by significant idolatry and evil practices, as detailed earlier in the chapter. His acts were not just political but deeply spiritual, impacting the nation's relationship with God. This phrase invites reflection on the legacy one leaves behind and the importance of aligning one's actions with God's will.

all he did
The phrase "all he did" encompasses the entirety of Manasseh's reign, both good and bad. The Hebrew word "asah" means to do or make, indicating the active role Manasseh played in shaping the spiritual and political landscape of Judah. His actions were comprehensive, affecting every aspect of life in the kingdom. This serves as a reminder of the far-reaching consequences of leadership and the responsibility leaders have to guide their people in righteousness.

and the sin he committed
Here, the focus shifts to the moral and spiritual failures of Manasseh. The Hebrew word for "sin" is "chatta'ah," which implies missing the mark or falling short of God's standards. Manasseh's sins were not minor transgressions but significant deviations from the covenantal path set by God for His people. This phrase underscores the gravity of sin and its ability to lead a nation astray, highlighting the need for repentance and divine forgiveness.

are they not written
This rhetorical question emphasizes the documentation and historical record of Manasseh's reign. The act of writing, "kathab" in Hebrew, signifies the importance of preserving history for future generations. It suggests that the lessons from Manasseh's life were meant to be remembered and learned from, serving as a cautionary tale for those who would follow.

in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
This phrase refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Judah. The "Book of the Chronicles" is not the same as the biblical books of 1 and 2 Chronicles but likely a separate historical document. This reference highlights the importance of historical records in understanding God's dealings with His people. It serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over history, and the actions of leaders are accountable to Him. The mention of Judah specifically points to the southern kingdom, emphasizing the divided nature of Israel during this period and the unique challenges faced by its leaders.

(17) Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh . . .--See 2Chronicles 33:11-19 for the story of his captivity, repentance, and restoration, which is now allowed by the best critics to be genuine history, though at one time it was the fashion to consider it an edifying fiction of the chronicler's.

Verse 17. - Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh. Important additions to the history of Manasseh are made by the writer of Chronicles. From him we learn that, after prophetical warnings had been in vain addressed to him and to his people (2 Chronicles 33:10), he was visited with a Divine judgment, an Assyrian army under "captains" being sent against him, who took him prisoner, and carried him to Babylon - the city where Esarheddon, the successor of Sennacherib, and contemporary of Manasseh, ordinarily held his court. Here he remained for some considerable time "in affliction" (ver. 12), and, becoming convinced of sin and deeply penitent for his manifold transgressions, he turned to God in sincerity and truth, and being restored by the Assyrians to his kingdom, he put away the idolatrous practices and emblems which he had previously introduced, "repaired the altar of the Lord" which had gone to decay, and re-established, so far as he could, the worship of Jehovah (ver. 16). A special prophet, Hosai, seems to have chronicled his sins and his repentance in a work which survived the Captivity, and is twice quoted by the compiler of the Books of Chronicles (2 Chronicles 33:18, 19). The submission of Manasseh to Esarhaddon is noted in the latter's annals, about the year B.C. 680 (see 'Eponym Canon,' p. 139, line 13). Other "acts" of Manasseh were the fortification of Jerusalem "on the west side of Gihon in the valley" the strengthening of the defenses of Ophel, and the occupation with strong garrisons of the various fortresses within his dominions. He thus played his part of tributary ally to Assyria With zeal, placing the south-eastern frontier in an excellent condition to resist the assaults of Egypt. Manasseh outlived Esarhaddon, and was for many years contemporary with Asshur-bani-pal, his son, whose inscriptions, however, contain no mention of him. Most likely his name occurred on Cylinder C, line 3, which is now illegible (see G. Smith's' History of Asshur-bani-pal,' p. 31,line c). And all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? The "sin which he sinned" is probably his persecution, which was viewed as his worst sin (see ver. 16; and comp. 2 Kings 24:4).
