2 Kings 21:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:23

And the servants of Amon conspired against him
Some of his domestic servants, and perhaps his courtiers, not on account of his idolatry, but for some ill usage of them:

and slew the king in his own house:
which they had an opportunity to do, being his servants.

2 Kings 21:23 In-Context

21 And he went in all the way, by which his father had gone, and he served to [the] uncleannesses, that is, (the) idols, to which his father had served, and he worshipped those;
22 and he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and he went not in the way of the Lord.
23 And his servants setted treasons to him, and killed the king in his house. (And his servants set treason against him, and killed the king in his own house.)
24 Soothly the people of the Lord smote all the men, that had conspired against king Amon, and they ordained to them a king, Josiah, his son, for him. (And the people of the Lord struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they ordained for themselves Josiah, Amon's son, to be king in his place.)
25 Forsooth the residue of [the] words of Amon, (and all the things) which he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah?
