Amon was a son of twenty two years when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as his father Manasseh did,

and walked in all the way that his father walked, and served the idols that his father served, and bowed himself to them.

And he forsook Jehovah, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Jehovah.

And the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.

And the people of the land killed all those who conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

And the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
