In the parallel passage it is, "a graven image of the grove," or rather, Asherah or Astarte. Manasseh, as Bp. Patrick observes, seems to have studied to find out what God had forbidden in his law, that he might practice it: a most prodigious change from the height of piety in his father's time, into the sink of impiety in this! in the house.2Ki 21:7,8; 23:6God had said.4; 1Ki 8:29; Ps 132:13,14which I have.6:6; 1Ki 8:44,48; 11:13,32; Ps 78:68 will I.2Sa 7:10; 1Ch 17:9so that they.7:17-22; De 28:1-14; 30:15-20; Isa 1:19,20; Eze 33:25,26to do all.De 4:40; 5:1,31-33; 6:1; 8:1; 27:26; Lu 1:6; Ga 3:10-13by the hand.Le 8:36; 10:11 made Judah.1Ki 14:16; 15:26; 2Ki 21:16; 23:26; 24:3,4; Pr 29:12; Mic 6:16to do worse.2; 2Ki 21:9-11; Eze 16:45-47the heathen.Le 18:24; De 2:21; Jos 24:8; 2Ki 17:8-11 36:15,16; Ne 9:29,30; Jer 25:4-7; 44:4,5; Zec 1:4; Ac 7:51,52 A.M. 3327.

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. Manasseh.32:33; 2Ki 21:18Amon.2Ki 21:19-25; 1Ch 3:14; Mt 1:10 A.M. 3361-3363.

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 De 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.
