2 Chronicles 33:21-25
New Living Translation
Amon Rules in Judah
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. 22 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father, Manasseh, had done. He worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father had made. 23 But unlike his father, he did not humble himself before the Lord. Instead, Amon sinned even more.
24 Then Amon’s own officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace. 25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah the next king.

International Standard Version
Amon’s Reign and Death(A)
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 He practiced what the Lord considered to be evil, just as his father Manasseh had done, sacrificing to and serving all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, 23 except that he never humbled himself to the Lord like his father Manasseh had done. In fact, Amon multiplied his own guilt 24 until his servants finally conspired against him and executed him in his own palace. 25 But the people of the land executed all of the conspirators against King Amon and installed his son Josiah as king to succeed him.
