After his death, Manasseh was buried in the garden of his palace, the garden of Uzza.
The name Uzza possibly points to a previous owner, from which one of the Judean kings purchased this property, or it shows that it was illegally drawn into the royal possessions. That would fit with Manasseh, who is compared with Ahab a few times (his name is mentioned a couple of times in this chapter), and from Ahab it is known that he did something similar (see 1 Kings 21:1–29). It is not strange that a piece of land retains the name of the previous owner. After this chapter, we still encounter Manasseh in 2 Kings 23:12, 2 Kings 23:26, and in 2 Kings 24:3–4; the last two texts once again underline the serious evil of which King Manasseh was guilty.
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son reigned in his place.
