Amon’s Reign and Death

19 ^aAmon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^aas his father Manasseh had done.

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.

John Wesley's Notes

He walked, etc. - He revived that idolatry which Manasseh in the latter end of his reign had put down. Those who set bad examples, if they repent themselves, cannot be sure that they whom their example has drawn into sin will repent. It is often otherwise.
