2 Kings 21:19-26

New Century Version NCV

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.

23 Amon's officers made plans against him and killed him in his palace.

24 Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans to kill King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.

25 Everything else Amon did is written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.

26 He was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.

New International Version NIV

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

20 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

21 He followed completely the ways of his father, worshiping the idols his father had worshiped, and bowing down to them.

22 He forsook the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in obedience to him.

23 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated the king in his palace.

24 Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.

25 As for the other events of Amon’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. And Josiah his son succeeded him as king.
