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
slew him in his own house
on 2 Chronicles 33:24-25
Amon's own servants conspire and slay him in his own house, a plot the people of the land answer by killing the conspirators rather than joining them, and they make Josiah his son king in his stead. The parallel account stands at 2 Kings 21:23-24 in nearly the same words; Chronicles adds nothing new to the assassination itself and moves straight past it to the reign that will find the book of the law and reform the temple. The chapter that opened with the worst sins of any king of Judah closes by handing the throne forward to the son who will undo them.
