2. Kongebok 21,20

18 Og Manasse la seg til hvile med sine forfedre og ble begravet i hagen til sitt eget hus, i Uzzas hage, og hans sønn Amon ble konge etter ham.

19 Amon var tjueto år gammel da han begynte å regjere, og han regjerte i to år i Jerusalem. Hans mor het Mesjullemet, datter av Harus fra Jotba.

Han handlet ondt i Herrens øyne, akkurat som hans far Manasse hadde gjort.

21 For han fulgte alle de veiene som hans far hadde fulgt, og tjente de avgudene som hans far hadde tjent, og bøyde seg for dem.

22 Så han forlot Herren, sine forfedres Gud, og vandret ikke på Herrens vei.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
