2 Kings 21:18-26 ▼

18 And Manasseh lies with his fathers, and is buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and his son Amon reigns in his stead.

19 Amon [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah,

20 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, as his father Manasseh did,

21 and walks in all the way that his father walked in, and serves the idols that his father served, and bows himself to them,

22 and forsakes YHWH, God of his fathers, and has not walked in the way of YHWH.

23 And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house,

24 and the people of the land strike all those conspiring against King Amon, and the people of the land cause his son Josiah to reign in his stead.

25 And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

26 And [one] buries him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigns in his stead.
