2 Kings 21:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:23

And the servants of Amon conspired against him
Some of his domestic servants, and perhaps his courtiers, not on account of his idolatry, but for some ill usage of them:

and slew the king in his own house:
which they had an opportunity to do, being his servants.

2 Kings 21:23 In-Context

21 He lived like his father in every way and worshiped and prayed to the idols his father had worshiped.
22 He abandoned the LORD God of his ancestors and didn't live the LORD's way.
23 Amon's officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.
24 Then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon. They made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 Isn't everything else about Amon--the things he did--written in the official record of the kings of Judah?
