18
Manasseh died and was buried in the palace garden, the garden of Uzza, and his son Amon succeeded him as king.
19
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz from the town of Jotbah.
20
Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord;
21
he imitated his father's actions, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped.
22
He rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and disobeyed the Lord's commands.
