2 Kings 21:18-24

18When Manasseh died, he was buried in the palace garden, the garden of Uzza. Then his son Amon became the next king.

19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.

20He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.

21He followed the example of his father, worshiping the same idols his father had worshiped.

22He abandoned the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and he refused to follow the Lord’s ways.

23Then Amon’s own officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace.

24But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah the next king.
