Amon Succeeds Manasseh

19 ^dAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^ejust as his father Manasseh had done. 21 For he walked ^{▼▼Lit in all the way that}entirely in the way that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. 22 So ^ghe abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord. 23 And ^hthe servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house. 24 Then ⁱthe people of the land ^{▼▼Lit struck}killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place. 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 26 He was buried in his grave ^kin the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.
