- 2 Kings 21:18-25 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place. Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did. He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them; and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh. The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house. But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

The Reign of Amon

v. 21. Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. Cf 2Ki 21:17-26.
v. 22. But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh, his father; for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh, his father, had made, and served them, having evidently restored them to their places of honor;
v. 23. and humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh, his father, had humbled himself, he was addicted to idolatry all his life; but Amon trespassed more and more.
v. 24. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house, a fate which served as a punishment upon his idolatry.
v. 25. But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against King Amon, for having interfered with the office of the king and endangered the welfare of the country by his assassination; and the people of the land made Josiah, his son, king in his stead. Assassinations and lynch justice are strictly against the will of the Lord, who is opposed to every form of anarchy and to every tendency in that direction.
