Manasseh joined the members of his family who had already died. His body was buried in his palace garden. It was called the garden of Uzza. Manasseh's son Amon became the next king after him.
19
Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth. She was the daughter of Haruz. She was from Jotbah.
20
Amon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21
He lived the way his father had lived. He worshiped the statues of the gods his father had worshiped. He bowed down to them.
22
He deserted the Lord, the God of his people. He didn't live the way the LORD wanted him to.
