2 Kings 21:20

Manasseh

18 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

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

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

21 He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.

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