2 Kings 21:18–26

¹⁸Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon became king in his place.

JUDAH’S KING AMON

¹⁹Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king,^ac and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. ²⁰He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.^{ad 21}He walked in all the ways his father had walked; he served the idols his father had served, and he bowed in worship to them.^{ae 22}He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors^af and did not walk in the ways of the Lord.^ag

²³Amon’s servants conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.^{ah 24}The common people^A killed^ai all who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah^aj king in his place.

²⁵The rest of the events of Amon’s reign, along with his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings. ²⁶He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.
