| II Chronicles 33:19
| His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues, before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
| Contempt. Hebrew, "prevarication." Septuagint, "apostacy." (Menochius) --- Chozai means "seers." (Septuagint) (Protestants) (Haydock) --- But it more probably signifies some particular prophet, (Calmet) Isaias, (St. Jerome, Trad.) "Hanan," (Syriac) or "Saphan." (Arabic version) (Calmet) --- This work, less than the book of the kings of Israel, is now lost. (Menochius)
