2 Kings 21:18–26

¹⁸And ^zManasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of ^aUzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

^19bAmon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of ^cJotbah. ²⁰And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^das his father Manasseh did. ²¹And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: ²²and he ^eforsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord. ²³And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. ²⁴And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. ²⁵Now 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? ²⁶And he was buried in his sepulchre ^fin the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
