Context of 2 Chronicles 33:24

22He did what was evil in the sight of Adonai just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved images that Manasseh his father had made, and worshipped them. 23He did not humble himself before Adonai as his father Manasseh had humbled himself. Instead Amon increased his guilt. So his servants conspired against him and assassinated him in his own house. 25Then the people of the land struck down all who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son 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
