And Manasseh rested
The phrase "rested" is often used in the Old Testament to denote death, particularly of kings. The Hebrew word used here is "שָׁכַב" (shakab), which means to lie down or to rest. This term conveys a sense of peace and finality, suggesting that despite Manasseh's tumultuous reign, his end was marked by a return to peace. It reflects the biblical understanding of death as a rest from earthly labors and struggles, aligning with the hope of eternal rest in God's presence.

with his fathers
This phrase indicates that Manasseh was buried in the traditional manner of the kings of Judah, alongside his ancestors. It signifies continuity and connection with the past, emphasizing the importance of family lineage and heritage in ancient Israelite culture. The phrase also implies a form of honor, as being laid to rest with one's forebears was a sign of respect and dignity, despite Manasseh's earlier sins and idolatry.

and was buried in his palace
The mention of Manasseh being buried "in his palace" is unique, as most kings were buried in the City of David. This could suggest a deviation from tradition, possibly due to his earlier apostasy or as a personal choice. The Hebrew word for palace, "בַּיִת" (bayit), can also mean house, indicating a more personal or familial burial site. This detail highlights the complexity of Manasseh's legacy, as he was a king who repented and sought the Lord after a period of significant rebellion.

And his son Amon
Amon, whose name means "faithful" or "trustworthy" in Hebrew, succeeded Manasseh. His ascension to the throne marks the continuation of the Davidic line, which is central to the biblical narrative and God's covenant promises. However, Amon's reign, as recorded in subsequent verses, was marked by a return to idolatry, contrasting with his father's late repentance and illustrating the recurring theme of faithfulness versus rebellion in the history of Judah.

became king in his place
This phrase signifies the transfer of authority and responsibility from one generation to the next. The Hebrew word for "became king," "מָלַךְ" (malak), implies ruling or reigning, underscoring the divine right and duty bestowed upon the king. Amon's succession serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of leadership and the ongoing challenge of maintaining faithfulness to God amidst the temptations of power and influence. It also foreshadows the eventual need for a perfect and eternal king, fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.

(20) In his own house.--2Kings 21:18, "and he was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza." The words, in the garden of, seem to have fallen out of our text. So LXX., ?? ????????? ????? ?????; Syriac, "in his house, in the garden of treasure."

Verse 20. - In his own house. The parallel has, "In the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza;" i.e., with little doubt, what had been formerly the garden of one Uzza.
