Commentary
4 notes on this verseThe garden of Uzza - The family sepulcher or burying-place. It is said 2Ki 21:3, 2Ki 21:7, that “Manasseh made a grove; and he set a graven image of the grove,” etc. וישם את פסל האשרה אשר עשה vaiyasem eth pesel haasherah, asher asah: “And he put the graven image of Asherah, which he had made,” into the house. Asherah, which we translate grove, is undoubtedly the name of an idol; and probably of one which was carved out of wood. R. S.
This site's exposition
the rest of the acts of Amon
on 2 Kings 21:25-26
The closing formula for Amon matches every other king's, the rest of his acts written in the chronicles of the kings of Judah, a record this book does not reproduce. He is buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza, beside his father Manasseh, and Josiah his son reigns in his stead. The chapter that opened with Judah's deepest fall closes by naming the king under whom the book records its deepest reform.

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the L ORD , after the abominations of the heathen, whom the L ORD cast out before the children of Israel.
