HOZAI hō’ zī (חﯴזָֽי). The name of a chronicle or history, referred to in 2 Chronicles 33:19, in which the prayer of Manasseh, his sinfulness, and certain of his impious acts was recorded. It is not certain whether the word should be tr. as a proper noun, “Hozai,” perhaps a prophet who recorded deeds of Manasseh as Isaiah apparently did for Hezekiah (2 Chron 32:32), or a common noun, perhaps to be tr. “seers,” with one Heb. MS and the LXX (חֹזִ֖ים). Some scholars have suggested reading “his (i.e. Manasseh’s) seers” (חﯴזָיו).
