Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
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 Kg2 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 Ch2 20:34.

34 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoshaphat [03092], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [01697] of Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607], who is mentioned [05927] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478].
11 Because Manasseh [04519] king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath done [06213] these abominations [08441], and hath done wickedly [07489] above all that the Amorites [0567] did [06213], which were before [06440] him, and hath made Judah [03063] also to sin [02398] with his idols [01544]:
12 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Behold, I am bringing [0935] such evil [07451] upon Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], that whosoever heareth [08085] of it, both [08147] his ears [0241] shall tingle [06750].
13 And I will stretch [05186] over Jerusalem [03389] the line [06957] of Samaria [08111], and the plummet [04949] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: and I will wipe [04229] Jerusalem [03389] as a man wipeth [04229] a dish [06747], wiping [04229] it, and turning [02015] it upside down [06440].
14 And I will forsake [05203] the remnant [07611] of mine inheritance [05159], and deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341]; and they shall become a prey [0957] and a spoil [04933] to all their enemies [0341];
15 Because they have done [06213] that which was evil [07451] in my sight [05869], and have provoked [04480] me to anger [03707], since the day [03117] their fathers [01] came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], even unto this day [03117].
