Contextual Overview
19 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah, 20 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, 21 and walketh in all the way that his father walked in, and serveth the idols that his father served, and boweth himself to them, 22 and forsaketh Jehovah, God of his fathers, and hath not walked in the way of Jehovah. 23 And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house, 24 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead. 25 And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 26 and [one] burieth him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Josiah his son in his stead.

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.
