2 Chronicles 33:21 In-Context

19 Everything about Manasseh is written in the records of the prophets. That includes his prayer and the fact that God felt sorry for him. It includes everything he did before he made himself low in the LORD's sight. It includes all of his sins and the fact that he wasn't faithful to the Lord. It includes the locations where he built high places. It includes the places where he set up poles that were used to worship the goddess Asherah. And it includes the places where he set up statues of other gods.
20 Manasseh joined the members of his family who had already died. His body was buried in his palace. His son Amon became the next king after him.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Amon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all of the statues of gods that Manasseh had made.
23 He didn't make himself low in the LORD's sight as his father Manasseh had done. So Amon became even more guilty.
