Context of 2 Chronicles 33:24

22And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them. 23And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 25But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-25Verses 21-25 Amon's father did ill, but he did worse. Whatever warnings or convictions he had, he never humbled himself.

May God help us to be honest to ourselves, and to think aright respecting our own character, before death fixes us in an unchangeable state.Read the comment
