2 Kings 21:19-26

New King James Version

Amon’s Reign and Death^(A)

^19 (B)Amon 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. ²⁰ And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)as his father Manasseh had done. ²¹ So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. ²² He ^(D)forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

^23 (E)Then the servants of Amon ^(F)conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house. ²⁴ But the people of the land ^(G)executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

²⁵ Now 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? ²⁶ And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then Josiah his son reigned in his place.
