2 Kings 21:19-26

2 Kings 21:19-26 AMP

Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father Manasseh had done. [2 Kin 23:26, 27; 24:3, 4] He walked in all the [evil] ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them; he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD. But the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house (palace). Then the people of the land [of Judah] killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place. Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.
