Context — Amon Reigns in Judah
20And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,
23but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt. 24Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.Cross References

| 3 | 2 Kings 21:1–11 | Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven. Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.” In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven. He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. Manasseh even took the carved Asherah pole he had made and set it up in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever. I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to wander from the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they are careful to do all I have commanded them—the whole Law that My servant Moses commanded them.” But the people did not listen and Manasseh led them astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites. And the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying, “Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to sin, |
| 4 | 2 Chronicles 34:3–4 | In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images. Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. |
| 5 | Isaiah 44:13–20 | The woodworker extends a measuring line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He fashions it in the likeness of man, like man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. He cuts down cedars or retrieves a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow. It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread; he even fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. He burns half of it in the fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. Indeed, he warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.” From the rest he makes a god, his graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, “Save me, for you are my god.” They do not comprehend or discern, for He has shut their eyes so they cannot see and closed their minds so they cannot understand. And no one considers in his heart, no one has the knowledge or insight to say, “I burned half of it in the fire, and I baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make something detestable with the rest of it? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?” He feeds on ashes. His deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?” |
| 6 | 2 Chronicles 33:1–10 | Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven. Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.” In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven. He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever. I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.” So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites. And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen. |
2 Chronicles 33:22 Summary
This verse tells us that Amon, the son of Manasseh, did evil in the sight of the LORD by serving and sacrificing to idols, just like his father had done. This shows us that our actions and decisions can have a lasting impact on those around us, and that we should strive to follow God's commands rather than following the example of others. As it says in Deuteronomy 6:15, God is a jealous God who will not tolerate idolatry, and we should seek to worship Him alone. By following God's commands and seeking wisdom from His Word, we can avoid the consequences of idolatry and live a life that is pleasing to Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Amon follow in his father's footsteps and do evil in the sight of the LORD?
Amon likely followed his father's example because he was influenced by his upbringing and surroundings, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:22. This is a reminder that our actions and decisions can have a lasting impact on those around us, as warned in Proverbs 22:6.
What does it mean that Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made?
This means that Amon continued the idolatrous practices of his father, which is condemned by God in Deuteronomy 12:3 and other passages. By serving these idols, Amon was essentially rejecting the one true God of Israel.
How does Amon's actions in this verse relate to his father Manasseh's actions in the previous chapters?
Amon's actions in 2 Chronicles 33:22 are a direct result of his father's influence, as Manasseh had also worshiped idols and done evil in the sight of the LORD, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:1-10. However, Manasseh eventually humbled himself before God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:12-13, which is not the case with Amon.
What can we learn from Amon's failure to turn away from idolatry?
We can learn that our choices have consequences, and that following the example of those around us can lead us down a path of destruction, as seen in 2 Chronicles 33:24. Instead, we should strive to follow God's commands and seek wisdom from His Word, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be following in the footsteps of those around me, rather than following God's commands?

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:22
2 Chronicles 33:22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;Ver. 22. Which Manasseh his father had made.] But not burnt, as he ought. See 2 Kings 21:20.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:22
(22) For Amon sacrificed.—Literally, and to all the carven images which Manasseh his father had made did Amon sacrifice. (Comp. 2 Kings 21:21, “and he walked in all the way wherein his father had walked, and served the idols which his father had served, and worshipped them.” Idols in the above passage is gillulîm, “dunglings,” a term nowhere used by the chronicler.) The statement of our text seems to imply that the “carven images” made by Manasseh had not been destroyed, but only cast aside. (See Note on 2 Chronicles 33:15.) It argues a defect of judgment to say with Reuss that the reforms of Manasseh are rendered doubtful by it. The whole history is a succession of reforms followed by relapses; and the words of the sacred writer need not be supposed to mean that the images which Amon worshipped were the very ones which his penitent father had discarded, but only images of the same imaginary gods.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 33:22
Verse 22. Sacrificed unto all the carved images] How astonishing is this! with his father's example before his eyes, he copies his father's vices, but not his repentance.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 33:22
22. But he did] R.V. And he did. for Amon … carved images] R.V. and Amon … graven images (as in 2 Chronicles 33:19).
