American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
{The Hebrew as pointed reads, Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art vile? Or, to nobles, Ye are wicked?}Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile,Or to nobles, Ye are wicked;
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father.
And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
and he forsook Jehovah, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of Jehovah.
The rod and reproof give wisdom;But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon {Or, became guilty}trespassed more and more.
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
{Or, Yet he passed away}But one passed by, and, lo, he was not:Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
