SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:17
Lo demás de los hechos de Manasés, y todas las cosas que hizo, y su pecado que cometió, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 21:17
Verse 17. Now the rest of the acts] In 2 Chron. xxxiii. 11, &c., we read that the Assyrians took Manasseh, bound him with fetters, and took him to Babylon; that there he repented, sought God, and was, we are not told how, restored to his kingdom; that he fortified the city of David, destroyed idolatry, restored the worship of the true God, and died in peace. In 2 Chron. xxxiii. 18, 19, His prayer unto God is particularly mentioned.
What is called his prayer, is found in the Apocrypha, just before the first book of the Maccabees. There are some good sentiments in it; but whether it be that which was made by Manasseh is more than can be proved. Even the Romish Church have not received it among the canonical books.
Are they not written] There are several particulars referred to here, and in 2 Chron. xxxiii. 11-19, which are not found in any chronicles or books which now remain, and what the books of the seers were, mentioned in Chronicles, we cannot tell.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did , etc.] Both good and bad, for he repented, and was humbled, and did many good things afterwards, though not recorded in this book: and his sin that he sinned ; his idolatry: are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ? in which were recorded the most memorable events of their reigns; and in the canonical book of Chronicles are many things concerning Manasseh, which are not written here; (see 2 Chronicles 33:11-16).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-18 - Here is the doom of Judah and Jerusalem. The words used represent the city emptied and utterly desolate, yet not destroyed thereby, but cleansed, and to be kept for the future dwelling of the Jews: forsaken yet not finally, and only as to outward privileges, for individua believers were preserved in that visitation. The Lord will cast off an professing people who dishonour him by their crimes, but never wil desert his cause on earth. In the book of Chronicles we read of Manasseh's repentance, and acceptance with God; thus we may learn no to despair of the recovery of the greatest sinners. But let none dar to persist in sin, presuming that they may repent and reform when the please. There are a few instances of the conversion of notoriou sinners, that none may despair; and but few, that none may presume.
