New Testament

2 Kings 21:17-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. Now the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

18. Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son reigned in his place.

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

20. He did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done.

21. He walked in all the ways that his father walked, served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them.

22. He abandoned the Lord God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.

23. The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his house.

24. But the people of the land struck all those who conspired against King Amon, and the ­people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

25. Now the rest of the deeds of Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

26. And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
