📚 Historical Context
In the biblical account of the kings of Judah, Amon was the son of King Manasseh and ascended to the throne after his father's death. Amon followed in his father's footsteps by engaging in idolatry and evil practices, which provoked God's judgment on the nation. This led to a rebellion by his own servants, who plotted and killed him in his palace as a direct consequence of his unfaithfulness.
