19. Manasseh’s prayer and how God listened and felt sorry for him are written in The Book of the Seers. Also all his sins, the wrongs he did before he humbled himself, and the places where he built high places and set up the Asherah poles are written in The Book of the Seers.
20. So Manasseh died and was buried with his ancestors. The people buried Manasseh in his own palace. Manasseh’s son Amon became the new king in his place.
21. Amon was 22 years old when he became king of Judah. He was king for two years in Jerusalem.
22. Amon did evil before the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. Amon offered sacrifices for all the carved idols and statues that Manasseh his father made. Amon worshiped those idols.
23. Amon did not humble himself in front of the Lord like Manasseh his father humbled himself. But Amon sinned more and more.
24. His servants made plans against him. They killed Amon in his own house.
25. But the people of Judah killed all the servants who planned against King Amon. Then the people chose Amon’s son Josiah to be the new king.
