Contextual Overview
19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. 21And he walked in all the way that his father had walked and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them. 22So he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh. 23Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house. 24Then the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. 25Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 26And he was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the servants of Amon conspired against him,.... Some of his domestic servants, and perhaps his courtiers, not on account of his idolatry, but for some ill usage of them:
and slew the king in his own house: which they had an opportunity to do, being his servants.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This conspiracy may have been due to the popular reaction against the extreme idolatry which the young king had established.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 21:23. The servants of Amon conspired — What their reason was for slaying their king we cannot tell. It does not seem to have been a popular act, for the people of the land rose up and slew the regicides. We hear enough of this man when we hear that he was as bad as his father was in the beginning of his reign, but did not copy his father's repentance.
