2 Kings 21:19-25

Christian Standard Bible

Judah’s King Amon

¹⁹ Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king,^(A) and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. ²⁰ He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.^{(B) 21} He walked in all the ways his father had walked; he served the idols his father had served, and he bowed in worship to them.^{(C) 22} He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors^(D) and did not walk in the ways of the Lord.^(E)

²³ Amon’s servants conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.^{(F) 24} The common people^[a] killed^(G) all who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah^(H) king in his place.

²⁵ The rest of the events of Amon’s reign, along with his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings.
