Amon Reigns in Judah (2KI 21:19-26)

[21:19] Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

[21:20] And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.

[21:21] He walked in all the way in which his father walked and served the idols that his father served and worshiped them.

[21:22] He abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

[21:23] And the servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his house.

[21:24] But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

[21:25] Now the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

[21:26] And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
