A king who held Judah's throne for exactly two years before his own court killed him. The biblical record notes little except idolatry and the palace conspiracy that ended his reign around 641 BC.
Biography
About
Amon inherited the throne from his father Manasseh of Judah, becoming the fifteenth king in the line. His reign lasted only two years, marked by a return to idolatrous worship that alienated enough of his inner circle to spark a revolt. The conspiracy came from within the palace itself. Around 641 BC, his own officials assassinated him, cutting short whatever trajectory his rule might have taken.
