2 Chronicles 33:21-25
English Standard Version
Amon's Reign and Death
21 (A)Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images (B)that Manasseh his father had made, and served them. 23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, (C)as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more. 24 And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house. 25 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.

Judah’s King Amon
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king and 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 Then the common people[a] executed all those who conspired against King Amon and made his son Josiah king in his place.
