Contextual Overview
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He ruled for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 Amon did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. 21 He walked in all the ways that his father had walked. He worshiped false gods like his father had. 22 So he turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers. He did not walk in the way of the Lord. 23 And the servants of Amon made plans against him, and killed the king in his own house. 24 Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans against King Amon. And they made Josiah his son king in his place. 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon are written in the Book of the Chronicles 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 he walked in all the ways that his father walked in,.... In his wicked way, his idolatry, witchcraft, and murders;
and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them; Baal, Ashtoreth, and all the host of heaven, and all the carved images his father made, which it seems he only removed, but did not break in pieces, 2 Chronicles 33:22.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
At Manasseh’s death, the idolatrous party, held in some check during his later years 2 Chronicles 33:15-17, recovered the entire direction of affairs, and obtained authority from Amon to make once more all the changes which Manasseh had made in the early part of his reign. Hence, we find the state of things at Josiah’s accession 2 Kings 23:4-14; Zephaniah 1:4-12; Zephaniah 3:1-7, the exact counterpart of that which had existed under Manasseh.
