22. Amon did evil before the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon offered sacrifices for all the carved idols and statues that Manasseh his father made. Amon worshiped those idols.
23. Amon did not humble himself in front of the Lord like Manasseh his father humbled himself. But Amon sinned more and more.
24. His servants made plans against him. They killed Amon in his own house.
25. But the people of Judah killed all the servants who planned against King Amon. Then the people chose Amon’s son Josiah to be the new king.
