¹⁹Amon was twenty-two years old^h when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah. ²⁰He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as Manasseh his father had done. ²¹He walked in all of the way that his father had walked, and he served the idols that his father had served and bowed down to them. ²²He abandoned Yahweh the God of his ancestorsⁱ and did not walk in the way of Yahweh. ²³The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace. ²⁴But the people of the land killed all who conspired against the king and made Josiah his son king in his place. ²⁵The remainder of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? ²⁶They buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in place of him.
