General Notes
Amon of Judah was the king of Judah and son of Manasseh. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 642 BC-640 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 643 BC-641 BC. He restored idolatry, and set up the images which his father had cast down. Zephaniah (1:4; 3:4, 11) describes his reign as marked by moral depravity.
He was assassinated (2 Kings 21:18-26: 2 Chronicles 33:20-25) by his own servants, who conspired against him.
