Passage
|
| Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshul'lemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. | AMON king of Judah. (641 BCE) 2Kgs.21.19-26 | 2Chr.33.21-25 |
| And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had done. | |
| He walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them; | |
| he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD. | |
| And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the king in his house. | |
| But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josi'ah his son king in his stead. | |
| 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? | |
| And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza; and Josi'ah his son reigned in his stead. | |
