2 Kings 21:15-25

15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Mitzrayim, even to this day.
16 Moreover Menashsheh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Yerushalayim from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Yehudah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Menashsheh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?
18 Menashsheh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Meshullemet the daughter of Harutz of Yotvah.
20 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Menashsheh his father.
21 He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:
22 and he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn't walk in the way of the LORD.
23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Yoshiyahu his son king in his place.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?
