2 Kings 21:18–26

¹⁸So ^zManasseh ⁶rested with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.

Amon’s Reign and Death

^19aAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. ²⁰And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^bas his father Manasseh had done. ²¹So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. ²²He ^cforsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

^23dThen the servants of Amon ^econspired against him, and killed the king in his own house. ²⁴But the people of the land ^fexecuted all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah 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? ²⁶And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then Josiah his son reigned in his place.
