2 Chronicles 33:22

AmonManasseh
Sin

20 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,

23 but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.

24 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
