19His prayer and how God accepted it are written in the records of Hozai. The things he did before he humbled himself are also written there. This includes all his sins and unfaithfulness and the places where he built illegal worship sites and set up idols and poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah. 20Manasseh lay down in death with his ancestors. They buried him in his own palace. His son Amon succeeded him as king. 21Amon was 22 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 2 years in Jerusalem. 22He did what the LORD considered evil, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon sacrificed to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and he worshiped them. 23He didn't humble himself in front of the LORD as his father Manasseh had humbled himself. Instead, Amon continued to sin. 24His officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace. 25Then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon. They made his son Josiah king in his place.
