Contextual Overview

21 Amon was a son of twenty two years when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as his father Manasseh did; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that his father Manasseh had made, and served them. 23 And he did not bow before Jehovah, like the humbling of his father Manasseh, for Amon himself multiplied guilt. 24 And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his own house; 25 and the people of the land killed all those who conspired against King Amon and the people of the land made his son Josiah to reign in his place.
