2 Kings 21:18–26

^18aAnd Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, ^bin the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place.

Amon Succeeds Manasseh

^19aAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

²⁰He did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^aas Manasseh his father had done.

²¹For he walked in all the way that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them.

²²So ^ahe forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

^23aThe servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.

²⁴Then ^athe people of the land ¹killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

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?

²⁶He was buried in his grave ^ain the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
