Amon king of Judah

19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

20And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

21He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.

22He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

23Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.

24But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.

25As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

26And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.

21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.

22And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,

23but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.

24Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.

25But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
