Contextual Overview

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was king for two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, who was from Jotbah. 20 Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, as his father Manasseh had done. 21 He lived in the same way his father had lived: he worshiped the idols his father had worshiped, and he bowed down before them. 22 Amon rejected the Lord , the God of his ancestors, and did not follow the ways of the Lord . 23 Amon's officers made plans against him and killed him in his palace. 24 Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans to kill King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place. 25 Everything else Amon did is written in the book of the history 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 Amon was twenty two years old when he began to reign,.... Being born in the forty fifth of his father's life, and in the thirty third of his reign:

and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; which, as Abarbinel observes, was the usual time the sons of wicked kings reigned, and instances in the son of Jeroboam, Baasha, and Ahab, 1 Kings 15:25. An Arabic writer k says, he reigned twelve years, but according to the Jews only two:

and his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah; there was a place called Jotbath, which was one of the stations of the children of Israel in the wilderness, Numbers 33:33 but it can scarcely be thought to be the same place.

k Abulpharag. Hist. Dynast. Dyn. 3. p. 67.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 21:19. He reigned two years in Jerusalem. — The remark of the rabbins is not wholly without foundation, that the sons of those kings who were idolaters, and who succeeded their fathers, seldom reigned more than two years. So Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, 1 Kings 15:25; Elah, the son of Baasha, 1 Kings 16:8; Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, 1 Kings 22:51; and Amon, the son of Manasseh, as mentioned here, 2 Kings 21:19.
