21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. 2 His mother 3 was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah. 21:20 He did evil in the sight of 4 the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done. 21:21 He followed in the footsteps of his father 5 and worshiped and bowed down to the disgusting idols 6 which his father had worshiped. 7 21:22 He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors and did not follow the Lord’s instructions. 8 21:23 Amon’s servants conspired against him and killed the king in his palace. 21:24 The people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they 9 made his son Josiah king in his place.
21:25 The rest of Amon’s accomplishments are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah. 10 21:26 He was buried 11 in his tomb in the garden of Uzzah, and his son Josiah replaced him as king.
