Amon Becomes King in Judah
21 (A)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. 22 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh (B)had done, and Amon sacrificed to all (C)the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and he served them. 23 Furthermore, he did not humble himself before the Lord (D)as his father Manasseh had [a]done, but Amon multiplied his guilt. 24 Finally, (E)his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house. 25 But the people of the land [b]killed all the conspirators against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

Judah’s King Amon
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.(A) Amon sacrificed to all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, and he served them. 23 But he did not humble himself before the Lord like his father Manasseh humbled himself;(B) instead, Amon increased his guilt.
24 So his servants conspired against him and put him to death(C) in his own house. 25 The common people[a] killed all who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
