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 (21:19)

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did (21:20)

And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: (21:21)

And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord (21:22)

And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house (21:23)

And 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 (21:24)

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? (21:25)

And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead (21:26)
