21
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
22
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.
23
He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
24
And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
25
But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.
