Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Chronicles 33:11

"Wherefore Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon." — 2 Chronicles 33:11 (ASV)

The Assyrian monuments contain no record of this expedition; but there can be little doubt that it occurred during the reign of Esarhaddon (see the note on 2 Kings 19:37), who reigned for 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.
