20 Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 Amon lived just as his father had lived. He worshiped and served the same idols his father had worshiped.
22 Amon left the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not live the way the Lord wanted.
23 Amon’s servants made plans against him and killed him in his palace.
24 The common people killed all the officers who made plans against King Amon. Then the people made Amon’s son Josiah the new king after him.
25 The other things that Amon did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah.
26 Amon was buried in his grave at the Garden of Uzza. His son Josiah became the new king.
