21
Amon was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22
Amon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all of the statues of gods that Manasseh had made.
23
He didn't make himself low in the LORD's sight as his father Manasseh had done. So Amon became even more guilty.
24
Amon's officials made plans against him. They murdered him in his palace.
25
Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans against King Amon. They made his son Josiah king in his place.
