2 Kings 21:18-26
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 (A)And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, (B)in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place.
Amon Succeeds Manasseh
19 (C)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, (D)as Manasseh his father had done. 21 For he walked in all the way that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father had served and worshiped them. 22 So (E)he forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord. 23 (F)The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house. 24 Then (G)the people of the land [a]killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 26 He was buried in his grave (H)in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And Amon his son became king in his place.
Amon Becomes King in Judah
21 (A)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 He did evil in the sight of the Lord as Manasseh his father (B)had done, and Amon sacrificed to all (C)the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and he served them. 23 Moreover, he did not humble himself before the Lord (D)as his father Manasseh had [a]done, but Amon multiplied guilt. 24 Finally (E)his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house. 25 But the people of the land [b]killed all the conspirators against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
