2 Kings 21:19-26 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Yerushalayim. And the name of his mother was Meshullemeth the daughter of Ḥaruts of Yoteḇah.

20. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, as his father Menashsheh had done,

21. and walked in all the ways that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself to them,

22. and forsook יהוה Elohim of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of יהוה.

23. And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the sovereign in his own house.

24. But the people of the land smote all those who had conspired against Sovereign Amon, and the people of the land set up his son Yoshiyahu to reign in his place.

25. And the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah?

26. And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. And his son Yoshiyahu reigned in his place.
