Commentary
4 notes on this versePerhaps when Amon sinned as his father did in the beginning of his days he promised himself that he should repent as his father did in the latter end of his days. But his case shows what a madness it is to presume upon that. If he hoped to repent when he was old, he was wretchedly disappointed; for he was cut off when he was young.
This site's exposition
conspired against him and killed him in his palace
on 2 Chronicles 33:24-25
Amon’s servants conspire and kill him “in his palace”, and “the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon”. The chapter that opened with the worst sins closes by handing the throne to the son who will find the book of the law.
