King Amon of Judah

21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years. 22 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s workers had made. 23 But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.

24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace. 25 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
