33:20 Manasseh <04519> passed away <01> <05973> <07901> and was buried <06912> in his palace <01004>. His son <01121> Amon <0526> replaced <08478> him as king <04427>. 33:21 Amon <0526> was twenty-two <08147> <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he became king <04427>, and he reigned <04427> for two <08147> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. 33:22 He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>, just like <0834> his father <01> Manasseh <04519> had done <06213>. He <0526> offered <06213> sacrifices to all <03605> the idols <06456> his father <01> Manasseh <04519> had made <02076>, and worshiped <05647> them. 33:23 He did not <03808> humble <03665> himself before <06440> the Lord <03068> as his father <01> Manasseh <04519> had done. Amon <0526> was guilty <0819> of great <07235> sin. 33:24 His servants <05650> conspired <07194> against <05921> him and killed <04191> him in his palace <01004>. 33:25 The people <05971> of the land <0776> executed <05221> all <03605> who had conspired <07194> against <05921> King <04428> Amon <0526>, and they <0776> <05971> made <04427> his son <01121> Josiah <02977> king <04427> in his place <08478>.
