Context — Manasseh’s Repentance and Restoration
18As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
19His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.
20And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. 22And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,Cross References

2 Chronicles 33:20 Summary
This verse tells us that Manasseh, the king of Judah, died and was buried in his palace, and his son Amon became the new king. Even though Manasseh had humbled himself and prayed to God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:18-19, his son Amon did not follow in his footsteps, and instead did evil in the sight of the Lord, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:22. This reminds us that our actions have consequences, and we must consider how our lives will be remembered after we are gone, as encouraged in Psalm 90:12. We can learn from Manasseh's example of humility and prayer, and strive to live in a way that honors God, as taught in Micah 6:8.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Manasseh after he humbled himself and prayed to God?
According to 2 Chronicles 33:18-19, Manasseh's prayer and how God received his plea are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel and the Records of the Seers, but this verse tells us that he eventually rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:20.
Who became king after Manasseh's death?
This verse tells us that his son Amon reigned in his place, and we can read more about Amon's reign in 2 Chronicles 33:21-22, where it says Amon did evil in the sight of the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done before he humbled himself.
What can we learn from Manasseh's life and death?
Manasseh's life teaches us about the importance of humility and prayer, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:18-19, and how God can receive our pleas and forgive our sins, as promised in 1 John 1:9, but this verse reminds us that our actions have consequences, and we must consider how our lives will be remembered after we are gone, as encouraged in Psalm 90:12.
How does Amon's reign relate to Manasseh's legacy?
Unfortunately, Amon's reign was marked by evil, just like his father's before he humbled himself, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:22, which suggests that Manasseh's legacy was not one of lasting spiritual impact on his son, despite his own personal repentance and prayer, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:18-19, and as warned in Proverbs 22:6.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean to 'rest with our fathers' as Manasseh did, and how can we prepare for our own eternal rest?
- How can we learn from Manasseh's example of humility and prayer, and apply it to our own lives, as encouraged in James 4:10?
- What role do you think Amon's upbringing and family influence played in his decision to follow in his father's sinful ways, and how can we as parents and mentors help those in our care to follow God's ways, as taught in Deuteronomy 6:6-7?
- What does this verse teach us about the importance of considering our own mortality and the legacy we will leave behind, and how can we use this awareness to live more intentionally for God, as encouraged in Psalm 90:12?
