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 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.
