CONSTITUTIONS OF THE HOLY APOSTLES 2.23 (380)

There is no sin more grievous than idolatry, for it is an impiety against God, and yet even this sin has been forgiven, on sincere repentance. But if anyone sins in direct opposition and on purpose to try whether God will punish the wicked or not, such a one shall have no remission, although he says to himself, "All is well, and I will walk according to the customs of my evil heart." Such a one was Amon the son of Manasseh.

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And Amon was twenty two years old when he began to reign,.... Being born in the forty fifth of his father's life, and in the thirty third of his reign: and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; which, as Abarbinel observes, was the usual time the sons of wicked kings reigned, and instances in the son of Jeroboam, Baasha, and Ahab, 1Ki 15:

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

He reigned two years in Jerusalem - The remark of the rabbins is not wholly without foundation, that the sons of those kings who were idolaters, and who succeeded their fathers, seldom reigned more than two years. So Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, 1Ki 15:25; Elah, the son of Baasha, 1Ki 16:8; Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, 1Ki 22:51; and Amon, the son of Manasseh, as mentioned here, 2Ki 21:19.
