Context of 2 Chronicles 33:24

22He did what the Lord considered evil, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and he worshiped them. 23He didn’t humble himself in front of the Lord as his father Manasseh had humbled himself. Instead, Amon continued to sin. His officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace. 25Then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon. They made his son Josiah king in his place.

• 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. He was soon cut off in his sins, and made a warning for all men not to abuse the example of God's patience and mercy to Manasseh, as an encouragement to continue in sin. 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
