The Brief Reign of Amon

2 Kings 21:19-26

Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.

He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.

But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.

As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.
