2 Chronicles 33:21 In-Context

19 His prayer and how God was touched by his prayer, a list of all his sins and the things he did wrong, the actual places where he built the pagan shrines, the installation of the sex-goddess Asherah sites, and the idolatrous images that he worshiped previous to his conversion - this is all described in the records of the prophets.
20 When Manasseh died, they buried him in the palace garden. His son Amon was the next king.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He was king for two years in Jerusalem.
22 In God's opinion he lived an evil life, just like his father Manasseh,
23 but he never did repent to God as Manasseh repented. He just kept at it, going from one thing to another.
