2 Kings 21:20 meaning and explanation
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
2 Kings 21:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Amon was twenty-two when he became king of Judah, and this verse gives the verdict on his two-year reign: he repeated his father Manasseh's evil rather than turning back to the LORD. The narrator is summarizing, not describing a single act, and the next verses spell out what that meant, that Amon served and worshiped the idols his father had served and abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers.
