Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 33:22
But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
22. But he did ] R.V. And he did.

Verse 22. Sacrificed unto all the carved images] How astonishing is this! with his father’s example before his eyes, he copies his father’s vices, but not his repentance.

(22) For Amon sacrificed.Literally, and to all the carven images which Manasseh his father had made did Amon sacrifice. (Comp. 2Ki. 21:21, and he walked in all the way wherein his father had walked, and served the idols which his father had served, and worshipped them. Idols in the above passage is gillulm, dunglings, a term nowhere used by the chronicler.) The statement of our text seems to imply that the carven images made by Manasseh had not been destroyed, but only cast aside. (See Note on 2Ch. 33:15.) It argues a defect of judgment to say with Reuss that the reforms of Manasseh are rendered doubtful by it. The whole history is a succession of reforms followed by relapses; and the words of the sacred writer need not be supposed to mean that the images which Amon worshipped were the very ones which his penitent father had discarded, but only images of the same imaginary gods.

as did Manasseh: 2Ch 33:1-10, 2Ki 21:1-11, 2Ki 21:20, 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 Deu 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. Isa 44:13-20

2Ch 33:22. He did that which was evil, as did Manasseh his father That is, as Manasseh had done in the days of his apostacy. They who think the wickedness of Amon an evidence that Manasseh did not truly repent, forget how many good kings had wicked sons. Manasseh, however, seems to have been very deficient in this after his repentance, that when he cast out the images, he did not utterly deface and destroy them, according to the law, which required them to burn the images with fire, Deu 7:5. How necessary that law was, this instance shows; for the carved images being only thrown by, and not burned, Amon, knowing where to find them, soon set them up, and sacrificed to them.
