2 Kings 21:23
Compare all
21 So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them.
22 He aforsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.  
23 aThen the servants of Amon bconspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.  
24 But the people of the land aexecuted all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah 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?

2 Kings 21:23

The servants of Amon conspired - What their reason was for slaying their king we cannot tell. It does not seem to have been a popular act, for the people of the land rose up and slew the regicides. We hear enough of this man when we hear that he was as bad as his father was in the beginning of his reign, but did not copy his father' s repentance.
