SEV Biblia, Chapter 33:15

Asimismo quitó los dioses ajenos, y el ídolo de la Casa del SEÑOR, y todos los altares que había edificado en el monte de la Casa del SEÑOR y en Jerusalén, y los echó fuera de la ciudad.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 33:15

Verse 15. He took away the strange gods] He appears to have done every thing in his power to destroy the idolatry which he had set up, and to restore the pure worship of the true God. His repentance brought forth fruits meet for repentance. How long he was in captivity, and when or by whom he was delivered, we know not. The fact of his restoration is asserted; and we believe it on Divine testimony.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 15. And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord , etc.] Which he had set there, ( 2 Chronicles 33:7) and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem ; (see 2 Chronicles 33:4,5), and cast them out of the city ; perhaps into the brook Kidron; all this he did to show the sincerity of his repentance for his idolatry, and his abhorrence of it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-20 - We have seen Manasseh's wickedness; here we have his repentance, and memorable instance it is of the riches of God's pardoning mercy, an the power of his renewing grace. Deprived of his liberty, separate from his evil counsellors and companions, without any prospect but of ending his days in a wretched prison, Manasseh thought upon what ha passed; he began to cry for mercy and deliverance. He confessed his sins, condemned himself, was humbled before God, loathing himself as monster of impiety and wickedness. Yet he hoped to be pardoned throug the abundant mercy of the Lord. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah wa God, able to deliver. He knew him as a God of salvation; he learned to fear, trust in, love, and obey him. From this time he bore a ne character, and walked in newness of life. Who can tell what tortures of conscience, what pangs of grief, what fears of wrath, what agonizin remorse he endured, when he looked back on his many years of apostac and rebellion against God; on his having led thousands into sin an perdition; and on his blood-guiltiness in the persecution of a numbe of God's children? And who can complain that the way of heaven i blocked up, when he sees such a sinner enter? Say the worst agains thyself, here is one as bad who finds the way to repentance. Deny no to thyself that which God hath not denied to thee; it is not thy sin but thy impenitence, that bars heaven against thee. (2Ch 33:21-25)
