20 Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord;
21 he imitated his father's actions, and he worshipped the idols that his father had worshipped.
22 He rejected the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and disobeyed the Lord's commands.
23 Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace.
24 The people of Judah killed Amon's assassins and made his son Josiah king.
25 Everything else that Amon did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
26 Amon was buried in the tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
