2 Kings 21:18-26

English Standard Version

^18 (A)And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his house, ^(B)in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son reigned in his place.

Amon Reigns in 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 Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. ²⁰ And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)as Manasseh his father had done. ²¹ He walked in all the way in which his father walked and served ^(D)the idols that his father served and worshiped them. ^22 (E)He abandoned 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 put the king to death in his house. ²⁴ But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. ²⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Amon that 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 ^(F)in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
