21 Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he ruled from Yerushalem for two years. 22 He did what Yahweh had said was evil, just like his father Menashsheh had done, and he sacrificed to all the idols that his father had made, and served them. 23 He didn’t humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father had, so Amon’s guilt was even worse.

24 Then Amon’s servants conspired against him, and assassinated him in his palace, 25 but the local people executed all those who’d conspired against King Amon, and made his son Yoshiyah king in his place.
