Amon
Generation 9 from Adam
Biography
The son of Manasseh who became king of Judah at age 22, Amon did evil like his father but without Manasseh's later repentance. He worshiped idols, increased his guilt, and reigned only two years before his own servants assassinated him. His young son Josiah succeeded him and reversed his evil policies.
Amon's brief, wicked reign demonstrates that evil patterns can be inherited but also that God can raise up righteous leaders from ungodly fathers.
