2 Chronicles 33:21-25

Good News Translation

King Amon of Judah^(A)

²¹ Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years. ²² Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped. ²³ But unlike his father, he did not become humble and turn to the Lord; he was even more sinful than his father had been.

²⁴ Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace. ²⁵ The people of Judah killed Amon's assassins and made his son Josiah king.
