^(ab)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

He did evil in the sight of the Lord , ^(ac)as Manasseh his father had done.

For he walked in all the way that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them.

So ^(ad)he forsook the Lord , the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord .

^(ae)The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.

Then ^(af)the people of the land ^[c]killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
