2 Kings 21:19-26
19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH, as Manasseh his father had done. 21He walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols that his father served, and bowed down to them. 22He abandoned YHWH, the Elohim of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of YHWH. 23The servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his house. 24But the people of the land struck all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made king Josiah his son in his place. 25The rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 26They buried him in his grave in the garden of Uzzah; and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH, as Manasseh his father had done; and to all the carved images that Manasseh his father had made Amon sacrificed, and he served them. 23He did not humble himself before YHWH, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but he, Amon, multiplied guilt. 24His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house. 25But the people of the land struck all who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made king Josiah his son in his place.
