2 Chronicles 33:1
英文原文
Compare references and notes. The author of Chronicles differs chiefly from Kings in additions (see the 2 Kings 21:17 note). The central part of this chapter (2 Chronicles 33:11-19) is almost entirely new matter.

2 Chronicles 33:7
雕刻的偶像——即亞舍拉（列王紀下21:7註釋）；它在這裏（以及以西結書8:3、8:5）得到 semel 這一頗不尋常的名稱。有人視之為專有名詞，並將它與希臘文的 Σεμέλη（Semele）相比。
英文原文
The idol - i. e. the Asherah (2 Kings 21:7 note), which receives here (and in Ezekiel 8:3, Ezekiel 8:5) the somewhat unusual name of semel, which some regard as a proper name, and compare with the Greek Σεμέλη Semelē.

2 Chronicles 33:11
亞述的碑刻沒有這次遠征的記錄；但它發生於以撒哈頓（見列王紀下19:37註釋）年間，幾乎沒有疑問；以撒哈頓至少作王十三年。他在自己的進貢者名單中提到瑪拿西；他也是亞述諸王中唯一間常以巴比倫為宮廷所在的一位。
在荊棘中——應譯作「用鉤子」；見列王紀下19:28註釋。
英文原文
The Assyrian monuments contain no record of this expedition; but there can be little doubt that it fell into the reign of Esarhaddon (2 Kings 19:37 note), who reigned at least thirteen years. Esarhaddon mentions Manasseh among his tributaries; and he was the only king of Assyria who, from time to time, held his court at Babylon.
Among the thorns - Translate - " with rings;" and see 2 Kings 19:28 note.

2 Chronicles 33:14
不如譯作「他在谷中基訓的西邊，築了大衛城的外郭」。這裏所說的城牆，似乎是指朝東北的那一段：從今日大馬士革門附近，橫跨基訓谷，直達「大衛城」東北角的「魚門」。
我們可以從這節經文推知，瑪拿西在位晚期背叛了亞述，並為亞述若來攻擊時能加以抵抗而作了準備。亞述約在主前647年開始衰落，從那時起，其邊遠行省自然開始離棄。瑪拿西作王直到主前642年。
英文原文
Rather, "he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west of Gihon-in-the-valley." The wall intended seems to have been that toward the northeast, which ran from the vicinity of the modern Damascus gate across the valley of Gihon, to the "fish-gate" at the northeast corner of the "city of David."
We may gather from this verse that, late in his reign, Manasseh revolted from the Assyrians, and made preparations to resist them if they should attack him. Assyria began to decline in power about 647 B.C., and from that time her outlying provinces would naturally begin to fall off. Manasseh reigned until 642 B.C.

請比較列王紀下21:2註釋及列王紀下18:4註釋。

2 Chronicles 33:18
保存於七十士譯本某些抄本中的「瑪拿西的禱告」，並無理由被視為這位猶大君王真實的言辭。它是一位精通七十士譯本的希臘化猶太人的作品，寫作年代大概距基督教時代開始不遠之前。
對他說話的先見們的話——見列王紀下21:11-15。
以色列諸王的書上——歷代志的作者通常說「猶大和以色列諸王記」（或「以色列和猶大諸王記」）。這裏他用一個更簡略的名稱指稱同一部編纂物，改換名稱（顯然）並沒有什麼特別理由。請比較歷代志下20:34。
英文原文
The "prayer of Manasseh," preserved to us in some manuscripts of the Septuagint, has no claim to be considered the genuine utterance of the Jewish king. It is the composition of a Hellenistic Jew, well acquainted with the Septuagint, writing at a time probably not much anterior to the Christian era.
The words of the seers that spake to him - See 2 Kings 21:11-15.
In the book of the kings of Israel - The writer of Chronicles usually speaks of "the book of the kings of, Judah and Israel" (or "Israel and Judah"). Here be designates the same compilation by a more compendious title, without (apparently) any special reason for the change. Compare 2 Chronicles 20:34.

2 Chronicles 33:19
先見們——大多數現代學者採納欽定本邊注所給的譯法，把何賽（Hosai，或更確切作 Chozai）視為專有名詞。這一點尚存疑問。
英文原文
The seers - Most moderns adopt the translation given in the margin of the Authorized Version, making Hosai (or rather, Chozai) a proper name. The point is a doubtful one.
請比較相關經文與註釋。歷代志的作者與列王紀的差異主要在於增補（見列王紀下21:17註釋）。本章的中間部分（歷代志下33:11-19）幾乎全是新的材料。
