16. Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that it filled the length and breadth of Jerusalem, in addition to the sin he caused Judah to commit by doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight.
17. The rest of the acts of Manasseh, with all that he did and the sin he committed, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
18. Manasseh rested with his ancestors; he was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza, and his son Amon succeeded him as king.
19. Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, as his father Manasseh had done.
21. He walked in all the ways of his father; he served the idols his father had served, and bowed down to them.
22. He abandoned the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23. Officials of Amon plotted against him and killed the king in his palace,
24. but the people of the land then slew all who had plotted against King Amon, and the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his stead.
25. The rest of the acts of Amon, which he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
