2 Chronicles 33:19
17 Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.
20 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
