The Hebrew word used here is "שָׁכַב" (shakab), which means to lie down or to sleep. This euphemism for death reflects a belief in the afterlife and the hope of resurrection, a concept that is more fully developed in the New Testament. The use of "rested" suggests a peaceful transition, despite Manasseh's tumultuous reign, indicating God's grace even in judgment.<p><b>with his fathers</b><br />This phrase indicates that Manasseh was buried in the traditional burial place of the kings, signifying continuity and connection with his ancestors. It reflects the importance of family lineage and heritage in ancient Israelite culture. The phrase also implies a sense of belonging and acceptance, despite Manasseh's sins, highlighting the enduring covenant between God and the house of David.<p><b>and was buried in his palace garden</b><br />The burial in his palace garden, rather than the traditional royal tombs, is significant. It may suggest a deviation from royal protocol, possibly due to Manasseh's controversial reign. The garden setting could symbolize a return to Edenic peace, a place of rest and reflection. Archaeologically, gardens were often associated with royalty and divinity in the ancient Near East, serving as a place of solace and beauty.<p><b>the garden of Uzza</b><br />The specific mention of "the garden of Uzza" is intriguing. Uzza is not a well-documented figure, leading to various interpretations. Some scholars suggest it may have been a well-known location or a personal name associated with the garden. The mention of Uzza adds a layer of mystery and invites reflection on the transient nature of human achievements and the enduring nature of God's creation.<p><b>And his son Amon reigned in his place</b><br />The transition of power to Amon, Manasseh's son, underscores the dynastic continuity of the Davidic line, despite the moral and spiritual failings of individual kings. Amon's reign, though brief and marked by evil, is part of the larger narrative of God's faithfulness to His promises. This phrase reminds us of the sovereignty of God in the affairs of nations and the hope for redemption through the lineage of David, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_kings/21.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(18) <span class= "bld">In the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza.</span>--His house was apparently not the royal palace built by Solomon, but another which Manasseh had built for himself. Thenius argues that the garden of Uzza lay in the Tyrop?on, at the foot of the spur of Ophel. (Comp. <a href="/2_samuel/6-8.htm" title="And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach on Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.">2Samuel 6:8</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/8-7.htm" title="And Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud.">1Chronicles 8:7</a>; <a href="/ezra/2-49.htm" title="The children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of Besai,">Ezra 2:49</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/7-51.htm" title="The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah,">Nehemiah 7:51</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_kings/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 18.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house.</span> We have already seen reason for believing that the catacomb of David was full, and that Hezekiah was buried outside it, though in the neighborhood, on this account (see the comment on 2 Kings 20:21). Manasseh seems to have made a new family tomb in a garden belonging to his house (see ver. 26; and comp. <a href="/2_kings/23-30.htm">2 Kings 23:30</a>). It is quite impossible to fix its site. <span class="cmt_word">In the garden of Uzza.</span> Probably an addition to the old palace garden; perhaps a purchase made by Manasseh with the object of converting it into a burial-ground. "Uzza," or "Uzzah," was a common name among the Jews (<a href="/2_samuel/6-8.htm">2 Samuel 6:8</a>; <a href="/ezra/2-49.htm">Ezra 2:49</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/7-51.htm">Nehemiah 7:51</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/6-29.htm">1 Chronicles 6:29</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/8-7.htm">1 Chronicles 8:7</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/13-7.htm">1 Chronicles 13:7-11</a>), and does not point to any definite individual. <span class="cmt_word">And Amen his son reigned in his stead.</span> "Amon" in Hebrew means "Nursling," or "Darling," and it is quite possible that Manasseh gave his son the name in this sense. But it is also the ordinary Hebrew form of the term ("Amen," or "Amun") by which the Egyptians designated the great god of Thebes, whom the Greeks and Romans called "Ammon." It has therefore been thought by many that it was given by Manasseh to his son "in an idolatrous spirit." So Bishop Cotton in Smith's 'Dictionary of the Bible,' vol. 1. p. 61, and others. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/21-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And Manasseh</span><br /><span class="heb">מְנַשֶּׁה֙</span> <span class="translit">(mə·naš·šeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
