Amon Becomes King In Judah

[21] Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. [22] But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them; [23] And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. [24] And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. [25] But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
