2 Tawarikh 33:21-25

Amon’s Reign

33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. ¹  33:22 He did evil in the sight of ²  the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done. He offered sacrifices to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and worshiped ³  them. 33:23 He did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done. ⁴  Amon was guilty of great sin. ⁵  33:24 His servants conspired against him and killed him in his palace. 33:25 The people of the land executed all who had conspired against King Amon, and they ⁶  made his son Josiah king in his place.
