So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.

Verse Takeaways

An Unusual Burial

Commentators note that Manasseh was buried 'in his own house,' which they clarify by referencing 2 Kings 21:18 to mean his palace garden. This was an unusual burial spot, outside the traditional royal tombs. This may signify that while his repentance was genuine and accepted by God, the earthly dishonor of his wicked reign had lasting consequences, preventing a burial with Judah's most honored kings.
