2 Kings 21:19-26

Common English Bible CEB

19 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth; she was Haruz's daughter and was from Jotbah.

20 He did what was evil in the LORD's eyes, just as his father Manasseh had done.

21 He walked in all the ways his father had walked. He worshipped the same worthless idols his father had worshipped, bowing down to them.

22 He deserted his ancestors' God, the LORD—he didn't walk in the LORD's way.

23 Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated the king in his palace.

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

25 The rest of Amon's deeds, aren't they written in the official records of Judah's kings?

26 He was buried in his tomb in the Uzza Garden. His son Josiah succeeded him as king.

New International Version NIV

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

20 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

21 He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them.

22 He forsook the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in obedience to him.

23 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated the king in his palace.

24 Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.

25 As for the other events of Amon’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. And Josiah his son succeeded him as king.
