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.

19 Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for two years. (His mother was Haruts’s daughter Meshullemet from Yotvah.) 20 He did what Yahweh had said was evil, just like his father Menashsheh had done. 21 In fact, he followed everything that his father had done, including serving the same idols and bowing to them. 22 He abandoned Yahweh, the god of his ancestors, and didn’t obey his instructions.

23 But Amon’s servants plotted to assassinate him, and they killed him in the palace. 24 However, the people executed everyone who’d been involved in the conspiracy against King Amon, and they installed his son Yoshiyyah as king in his place.

25 Everything else that Amon said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden made by Uzzah, and his son Yoshiyyah replaced him as king.
