The Reign of Amon

v. 20. So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house, in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, 2Ki 21:18; and Amon, his son, reigned in his stead.

v. 21. Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. Cf 2Ki 21:17-26.

v. 22. But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh, his father; for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh, his father, had made, and served them, having evidently restored them to their places of honor;

v. 23. and humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh, his father, had humbled himself, he was addicted to idolatry all his life; but Amon trespassed more and more.

v. 24. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house, a fate which served as a punishment upon his idolatry.

v. 25. But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against King Amon, for having interfered with the office of the king and endangered the welfare of the country by his assassination; and the people of the land made Josiah, his son, king in his stead. Assassinations and lynch justice are strictly against the will of the Lord, who is opposed to every form of anarchy and to every tendency in that direction.

and they buried him in his house Like “in his house.” In II Kings (21:18) it is written: “in the garden of his house.” He did not merit to be buried with his forefathers.
