Melachim Bais 21:18-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

18. And Menasheh slept with his avot, and was buried in the gan of his own Bais, in the gan of Uzza; and Amon bno reigned as melech in his place.

19. Amon was 22 years old when he began to reign as melech, and he reigned 2 shanim in Yerushalayim. And shem immo was Meshulemet Bat Charutz of Yotvah.

20. And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem, just as Menasheh aviv did.

21. And he walked in all the derech that aviv walked in, and served the gillulim that aviv served, and bowed down in worship to them;

22. And he forsook Hashem Elohei Avotav, and walked not in the Derech Hashem.

23. And the avadim of Amon plotted a kesher against him, and assassinated HaMelech in his own Bais (palace).

24. And the Am HaAretz slaughtered all them that had plotted a kesher against HaMelech Amon; and the Am HaAretz made Yoshiyah bno Melech in his place.

25. Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yehudah?

26. And he was buried in his kever in the gan (garden) of Uzza; and Yoshiyah bno reigned as melech in his place.
