Summary

This verse records the death of Amon, the king of Judah, who reigned for only two years and did evil in the sight of the Lord. Amon's servants conspired against him and assassinated him in his own palace. His son Josiah succeeded him as king, marking a significant transition in the leadership of Judah. Amon's reign serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of turning away from God and the instability that can result from unrighteous leadership.
