Amon Reigns over Judah
19 (A)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, (B)as Manasseh his father had done. 21 And he walked in all the way that his father had walked and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them. 22 So (C)he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh. 23 (D)Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house. 24 Then (E)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 which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Amon’s Reign and Death(A)
19 (B)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (C)as his father Manasseh had done. 21 So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. 22 He (D)forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 (E)Then the servants of Amon (F)conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house. 24 But the people of the land (G)executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
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?

Amon King of Judah(A)
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. 20 He did evil(B) in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. 21 He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them. 22 He forsook(C) the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk(D) in obedience to him.
23 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated(E) the king in his palace. 24 Then the people of the land killed(F) all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah(G) his son king in his place.
25 As for the other events of Amon’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
