Amon Son of Manasseh, King of Judah
19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king and he ruled for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
20He did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. 21He walked in all the ways in which his father had walked, and he served the filthy idols which his father had served, and he worshipped them. 22He abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23Amon's servants conspired against him, and they killed the king in his palace. 24Then the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
25As for the rest of Amon's acts, the things he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? 26They buried him in his own tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then his son Josiah became king in his place.
