16 Manasseh was guilty of causing the people of Judah to sin and disobey the Lord. He also refused to protect innocent people—he even let so many of them be killed that their blood filled the streets of Jerusalem.
17 Everything else Manasseh did while he was king, including his terrible sins, is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.
18 He died and was buried in Uzza Garden near his palace, and his son Amon became king.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled from Jerusalem for two years. His mother Meshullemeth was the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
20 Amon disobeyed the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 Amon worshipped the idols Manasseh had made and
22 refused to be faithful to the Lord, the God his ancestors had worshipped.
