Manasseh passed away and was buried in his palace. His son Amon replaced him as king.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.

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

Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the city official and Joash the king’s son.

He did evil in the sight of the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done. He offered sacrifices to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and worshiped them.

The people of the land executed all who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
