The Brief Reign of Amon

2 Kings 21:19-26

Two and twenty years old was Amon when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth, the daughter of Harus, of Jeteba.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses, his father, had done.

And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them.

And forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house.

But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon: and made Josias, his son, their king in his stead.

But the rest of the acts of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

And they buried him in his sepulchre, in the garden of Oza: and his son, Josias, reigned in his stead.
