[21:19] Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz from the town of Jotbah.
[21:20] Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord;
[21:21] he imitated his father's actions, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped.
[21:22] He rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and disobeyed the Lord's commands.
[21:23] Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace.
[21:24] The people of Judah killed Amon's assassins and made his son Josiah king.
[21:25] Everything else that Amon did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
[21:26] Amon was buried in the tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
