¹⁸ And Manas′seh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

Amon Reigns over Judah

¹⁹ Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshul′lemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. ²⁰ And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manas′seh his father had done. ²¹ He walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them; ²² he forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord. ²³ And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the king in his house. ²⁴ But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josi′ah his son king in his stead. ²⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ²⁶ And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza; and Josi′ah his son reigned in his stead.
