2 Kings 21:19-26

Amon King of Judah 19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. 20He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. 21He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them.

22He forsook the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in obedience to him. 23Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated the king in his palace.

24Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place. 25As for the other events of Amon’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 26He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. And Josiah his son succeeded him as king.
