2 Kings

2 Kings 21:19–22

¹⁹Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah. ²⁰And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. ²¹He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served. ²²He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
