2 Kings 21:26
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.
