Amon was the 15th king of Judah, reigning for two years before being assassinated by his own officials. He is known for his wicked reign, during which he continued the idolatrous practices of his father, King Manasseh, though unlike his father, Amon did not repent and instead sinned more deeply. His son, Josiah, was then made king in his place after the people of the land killed Amon’s assassins.Â
