Contextual Overview
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was king for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, who was from Jotbah. 20 Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, as his father Manasseh had done. 21 He lived in the same way his father had lived: he worshiped the idols his father had worshiped, and he bowed down before them. 22 Amon rejected the Lord , the God of his ancestors, and did not follow the ways of the Lord . 23 Amon's officers made plans against him and killed him in his palace. 24 Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans to kill King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place. 25 Everything else Amon did is written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah. 26 He was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against King Amon,.... On occasion of his death, there seems to have been an insurrection of the people in a body, to avenge the death of their king, who might be beloved on account of his idolatry, so depraved was the nation; or it may be only to avenge his death because he was their king, whose life these men ought not to have taken away: and the rather this may be thought to be the reason by what follows,
and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead; who had been prophesied of by name above three hundred years before, see
1 Kings 13:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The intention of the conspirators had perhaps been to declare a forfeiture of the crown by the existing line, and to place a new dynasty on the throne. This the people would not suffer. They arrested them and put them to death; and insisted on investing with the royal authority the true heir of David, the eldest son of Amon, though he was a boy only 8 years old.
