21 Amon was twenty-two e years old when he became king , and he reigned two years in Jerusalem . 22 He did evil in the sight of the Lord as Manasseh his father had done , and Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made , and he served them. 23 Moreover, he did not humble himself before e the Lord as his father Manasseh had done , but Amon multiplied guilt . 24 Finally his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house . 25 But the people of the land killed all the conspirators against King Amon , and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place .

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:21-25
(Read 2 Chronicles 33:21-25)
Amon's father did ill, but he did worse. Whatever warnings or convictions he had, he never humbled himself. He was soon cut off in his sins, and made a warning for all men not to abuse the example of God's patience and mercy to Manasseh, as an encouragement to continue in sin. May God help us to be honest to ourselves, and to think aright respecting our own character, before death fixes us in an unchangeable state.
