Amon his son
Amon, the son of Manasseh, is a figure whose brief reign is recorded in the annals of Judah's kings. His name in Hebrew, אָמוֹן ('Amon), can mean "faithful" or "builder." Historically, Amon's reign was marked by a continuation of his father Manasseh's idolatrous practices, as noted in 2 Kings 21:19-26. Despite his name suggesting faithfulness, Amon's actions were contrary to the covenantal faithfulness expected of a king in Judah. His reign was short-lived, lasting only two years before he was assassinated by his own servants. This highlights the instability and spiritual decline during this period of Judah's history. Amon's life serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of turning away from God, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness not just in name but in action.

Josiah his son
Josiah, the son of Amon, is one of the most celebrated kings of Judah, known for his religious reforms and dedication to the Lord. His name, יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ (Yoshiyahu), means "Yahweh supports" or "Yahweh heals." Josiah ascended to the throne at a young age, following the assassination of his father, and his reign marked a significant spiritual revival in Judah. He is renowned for his efforts to restore the worship of Yahweh, as detailed in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. Josiah's reforms included the repair of the Temple, the rediscovery of the Book of the Law, and the eradication of idolatry from the land. His reign is often seen as a high point in the history of Judah, demonstrating the power of righteous leadership and the impact of returning to God's ways. Josiah's life and reign are inspirational, reminding believers of the transformative power of sincere devotion and obedience to God.

(14) Amon.--Probably the Egyptian sun-god Amen or Amun.

Josiah.--Iah comforteth.

In this line of fifteen successive monarchs, the usurper Athaliah is omitted between Ahaziah and Joash (1Chronicles 3:11).
