VERSE 7 
 - he set a carved image.
  The Targumist says, "He set up an image, the likeness of
  himself, in the house of the sanctuary."  In the parallel
  passage it is, "a graven image of the grove," or rather,
  Asherah or Astarte.  Manasseh, as Bp. Patrick observes, seems
  to have studied to find out what God had forbidden in his law,
  that he might practice it:  a most prodigious change from the
  height of piety in his father's time, into the sink of impiety
  in this!

  So the Targum and Vulgate:  the Syraic has Hanun the prophet;
  and the Arabic, Saphan the prophet.  This record is totally
  lost; for the captivity and repentance of Manasseh are related
  no where else; and the prayer of Manasseh in the Apocrypha was
  probably composed long afterwards:  it is not acknowledged as
  canonical even by the Romish church, though it was anciently
  used as a form of confession, and as such still received by
  the Greek church.

   * :1 Lu 12:19,20 Jas 13 4:13-15


VERSE 22 
 - as did Manasseh.  See on ver.
   * :1-10 2Ki 21:1-11,20 Eze 20:18
- for Amon sacrificed.
  Amon's conduct is recorded as like his father Manasseh, in
  sacrificing to graven images; by which some think it is an
  evidence that Manasseh did not truly repent, but they forget
  how many good kings had wicked sons.  In one point of view
  Manasseh was defective, although it cannot be supposed that it
  affected his eternal state; for when he cast out the images,
  he did not utterly deface and destroy them, according to the
  law in De 7:5, which required, moreover, that the graven
  images should be burnt with fire.  How necessary that law was,
  this instance shows; for the carved images being only thrown
  aside, and not burnt, Amon knew where to find them, soon set
  them up, and sacrificed to them.
