2 Chronicles 33:20-25

20 When Manasseh died, they buried him in the palace garden. His son Amon was the next king.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He was king for two years in Jerusalem.

22 In God's opinion he lived an evil life, just like his father Manasseh,

23 but he never did repent to God as Manasseh repented. He just kept at it, going from one thing to another.

24 In the end Amon's servants revolted and assassinated him - killed the king right in his own palace.

25 The citizens in their turn then killed the king's assassins. The citizens then crowned Josiah, Amon's son, as king.
