2 Chronicles 33:11-12
Lord <03068> [A.M. 3327. B.C. 677. the Lord.]
commanders <08269> [the captains.]
[of the king. Heb. which were the king's.]
hooks <02336> [among the thorns.]
The word {bachochim} may possibly her signify with fetters or chains, as the kindred word {chachim} denotes, Eze 19:4, 9. The Syriac and Arabic have alive, probably reading {bechayim}.
bound <0631> [bound him.]
bronze chains <05178> [fetters. or, chains.]
pain <06887> [And when.]
Manasseh <02470> [he besought.]
Lord <03068> [the Lord.]
humbled <03665> [humbled.]
2 Chronicles 33:19
prayer give an account of how .... responded <08605 06279> [his prayer also.]
[all his sins.]
before ... humbled <06440 03665> [before he.]
<02374> [the seers. or, Hosai.]
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.
