19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
