2 Chronicles 33:21-23

Amon Becomes King in Judah

21 ¹Amon was twenty-two * years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 He did evil in the sight of the LORD as Manasseh his father ²had done, and Amon sacrificed to all ³the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and he served them.

23 Moreover, he did not humble himself before * the LORD ⁴as his father Manasseh had done, but Amon multiplied guilt.
