21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Like his father Manasseh, he sinned against the Lord, and he worshiped the idols that his father had worshiped.
23 But unlike his father, he did not become humble and turn to the Lord; he was even more sinful than his father had been.
24 Amon's officials plotted against him and assassinated him in the palace.
25 The people of Judah killed Amon's assassins and made his son Josiah king.
