18
When Manasseh died, he was buried in the palace garden, the garden of Uzza. Then his son Amon became the next king.
19
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
20
He did what was evil in the LORD ’s sight, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21
He followed the example of his father, worshiping the same idols his father had worshiped.
22
He abandoned the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and he refused to follow the LORD ’s ways.
