2 Chronicles 33:21-25

Amon rules

21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled for two years in Jerusalem.

22 He did what was evil in the LORD's eyes, just as his father Manasseh had done. He sacrificed to all the idols his father had made and worshipped them.

23 But unlike his father Manasseh, Amon didn't submit before the LORD; instead, Amon increased his guilt.

24 His own officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.

25 The people of the land then executed all those who had plotted against King Amon and made his son Josiah the next king.
