2 Kings 21:19-25
English Standard Version
Amon Reigns in Judah
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, (A)as Manasseh his father had done. 21 He walked in all the way in which his father walked and served (B)the idols that his father served and worshiped them. 22 (C)He abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord. 23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his house. 24 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. 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Judah’s King Amon
19 Amon was 22 years old when he became king(A) and 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 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 worshiped them.(C) 22 He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors(D) and did not walk in the way of the Lord.(E)
23 Amon’s servants conspired against the king and killed him in his own house.(F) 24 Then the common people[a] executed(G) all those who had conspired against King Amon and 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.
