Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Of Israel - Of Judah, often called Israel, he speaks not of the book of Kings, for these things are not mentioned there, but of their publick records, whence the most important things were taken by the prophets, and put into those canonical books.

This site's exposition

the words of the seers that spake to him

on 2 Chronicles 33:18-20

Chronicles names its own sources here, the book of the kings of Israel and the sayings of the seers, a record Matthew Henry reads as drawn from Manasseh's own confession once God gave him repentance. 2 Kings 21:18 buries Manasseh in the garden of his own house, the garden of Uzza; Chronicles keeps only in his own house, the shorter form standing beside the fuller one without conflict. Amon his son succeeds him, and the chapter turns at once to measure the son against the father it has just finished redeeming.
