2 Chronicles 33:19

19. His prayer also The same prayer referred to in the previous verse. The writer simply adds in this verse that the prayer and other things concerning Manasseh were also written among the sayings of the seers Our translators took this to be a general reference to several well-known prophetical works which contained accounts of Manasseh’s reign, for the Hebrew word is the same as that rendered seers in the preceding verse. But the form of the word is different, and to sustain the common version we must assume a textual error, and read החזים instead of חוזי . For this there is no external authority, and we have no other instance of such a general reference to written authorities. Whenever the chronicler refers to a written document he always mentions its author. Hence most modern critics take חוזי as a proper name, Chozai, (or Hosai, as in the margin,) and understand that the acts of Manasseh were written by one named Hozai, of whom, however, we have no other mention.

2 Chronicles 33:21-25 describe the reign of Amon, but add nothing of importance to the account in 2 Kings 21:19-26, where see notes.
