Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the servants of Amon conspired against him,.... Some of his domestic servants, and perhaps his courtiers, not on account of his idolatry, but for some ill usage of them:

and slew the king in his own house: which they had an opportunity to do, being his servants.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This conspiracy may have been due to the popular reaction against the extreme idolatry which the young king had established.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 21:23. The servants of Amon conspired — What their reason was for slaying their king we cannot tell. It does not seem to have been a popular act, for the people of the land rose up and slew the regicides. We hear enough of this man when we hear that he was as bad as his father was in the beginning of his reign, but did not copy his father's repentance.
