📚 Historical Context

Amon was the king of Judah who succeeded his father Manasseh and ruled for only two years, during which he continued in idolatry and evil practices that displeased God. This verse points to the "book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah," an official historical record maintained by scribes to document the reigns and deeds of Judah's rulers. It reflects the ancient practice of referring to external sources for more complete accounts, as the Bible often summarizes key events.
