2 Chronicles 33:20-25

20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house; and Amon, his son, reigned for him.
21 Amon was of two and twenty years, when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh, his father, had done; and he offered, and served to all the idols, which Manasseh had made.
23 And he reverenced not the face of the Lord, as Manasseh, his father, reverenced (And he did not humble himself before the Lord, like his father Manasseh had humbled himself); and he did much greater trespasses than his father did.
24 And when his servants had sworn together against him, they killed him in his house.
25 Soothly the residue multitude of the people, after that they had slain them that had slain Amon, ordained Josiah, his son, king for him.
