2 Kings 21:19-26

19Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled as king in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth. She was the daughter of Haruz, who came from Jotbah.

20Amon did things that the Lord said were evil, as his father Manasseh had done.

21He lived in the same bad way as his father did. He bent down low to worship the useless idols that his father had worshipped.

22He turned away from the Lord, the God that his ancestors worshipped. He did not obey the Lord's teaching.

23Amon's officers decided to kill him. They killed him in his palace.

24Then the people of Judah punished all Amon's murderers with death. They chose his son Josiah to be king after him.

25The other things that Amon did are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’

26People buried him in his grave in Uzza's garden. His son Josiah became king after him.
