Amon: The King of Judah
Waqar Daniel Thu 19 Jul 2007, 8:24 pm
Meaning of Name
The LORD has given
Reference
II Kings 21:19-26
II Chronicles 33:21-25
Reign
2 years
History
Little is said of the vile king who reigned just two years, but what is said speakes volumes. "He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father ... but .. trespassed more and more" (II Chronicles 33:22-23). That Amon is linked to his father in the magnitude of his sin is indeed a blaring condemnation of his life. That he continued to add to it is almost unimaginable. If Amon had any thoughts of repenting as his father had done, his plans were cut short when his own officials conspired against him and assassinated him.

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
