Amon’s Reign and Death
21 2 Kin. 21:19–24; 1 Chr. 3:14Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them. 23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, 2 Chr. 33:12, 19as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 2 Kin. 21:23, 24; 2 Chr. 24:25Then his servants conspired against him, and 2 Chr. 25:27killed him in his own house. 25 But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
