2 Kings 21:19-24

19 Amon King of Judah
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

20 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done.

21 He walked in all the ways of his father; he worshiped the idols his father had worshiped, and bowed down to them.

22 He forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.

23 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated the king in his palace.

24 Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
