2 Chronicles 33:24
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
BSB
ASV
And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
KJV
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Perhaps 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.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
