Easton's Bible Dictionary

strength, A garden in which Manasseh and Amon were buried ( 2 Kings 21:18 , 21:26 ). It was probably near the king's palace in Jerusalem, or may have formed part of the palace grounds. Manasseh may probably have acquired it from some one of this name.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The spot in which Manasseh king of Judah and his son Amon were buried. ( 2 Kings 21:18 , 21:26 ) It was the garden attached to Manassehs palace. ver. 18. The fact of its mention shows that it was not where the usual sepulchres of the kings were. No clue, however, is afforded to its position.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

uz'-a, uz'-a ('uzzah (2 Samuel 6:6 - 8), otherwise 'uzza' meaning uncertain):

(2) The garden of Uzza (2 Kings 21:18 , 26). Manasseh the king is said (2 Kings 21:18) to have been "buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza"; and Amon (2 Kings 21:26) "was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza." It has been suggested that "Uzza"--"Uzziah" ('uzziyah) = Azariah" (compare 2 Kings 15:1-6). The garden of Manasseh would then be identical with that of Uzziah, by whom it was originally laid out. 2 Chronicles 33:20 does not mention the garden.
