They said to them, “Don’t bring those captives here! Are you planning on making us even more sinful and guilty before the Lord? Our guilt is already great and the Lord is very angry at Israel.”

He did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done. Amon was guilty of great sin.

And now you are planning to enslave the people of Judah and Jerusalem. Yet are you not also guilty before the Lord your God?
