18
Manasseh died and was buried in the garden of his own palace, the garden of Uzza. Then Manasseh's son Amon became king in his place.
19
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was king for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, who was from Jotbah.
20
Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, as his father Manasseh had done.
21
He lived in the same way his father had lived: he worshiped the idols his father had worshiped, and he bowed down before them.
22
Amon rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not follow the ways of the Lord.
