The expression "rested with his fathers" is a common biblical euphemism for death, suggesting that he joined his ancestors in the afterlife. Manasseh's reign was marked by significant idolatry and evil practices, as detailed earlier in <a href="/2_chronicles/33.htm">2 Chronicles 33</a>, but he also experienced a late repentance. His death marks the end of a tumultuous period in Judah's history. The phrase also implies a return to the covenant community, as he is counted among his forefathers despite his earlier sins.<p><b>and was buried at his palace.</b><br>Unlike many kings who were buried in the City of David, Manasseh was buried at his palace. This could suggest a deviation from tradition, possibly due to his controversial reign or personal choice. The location of his burial might reflect his status or the influence he wielded during his lifetime. Archaeologically, the exact location of his palace is not definitively known, but it would have been in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. This burial site choice might also indicate a desire for a more private or personal resting place.<p><b>And his son Amon reigned in his place.</b><br>Amon succeeded Manasseh as king, continuing the Davidic line. His reign was short, lasting only two years, and he followed in the early footsteps of his father by committing evil in the sight of the Lord, as described in <a href="/2_chronicles/33-21.htm">2 Chronicles 33:21-23</a>. Amon's reign is a reminder of the cyclical nature of sin and repentance in the history of Judah's kings. His ascension to the throne signifies the continuation of the royal lineage, which is crucial for the fulfillment of God's promises to David regarding an everlasting dynasty, ultimately realized in Jesus Christ, the descendant of David.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/manasseh.htm">Manasseh</a></b><br>King of Judah who initially led the nation into idolatry but later repented and sought the Lord.
