📚 Historical Context

This verse describes the aftermath of King Amon's assassination around 642 BC. Amon was an evil king who ruled Judah for only two years before his own servants killed him in his palace. The common people of Judah responded by executing the conspirators and placing Amon's eight-year-old son Josiah on the throne, who would become one of Judah's greatest and most godly kings.
