Usage: Amon is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a person. In the context of the Bible, Amon is known as a king of Judah, the son of Manasseh, and the father of Josiah. His reign is noted for continuing the idolatrous practices of his father, which were later reformed by his son Josiah.

Cultural and Historical Background: Amon reigned as king of Judah for two years (642–640 BC) and is often remembered for his continuation of the idolatrous practices initiated by his father, Manasseh. His reign was marked by a return to pagan worship, which was prevalent in the region during that time. Amon's assassination by his own servants reflects the political instability and religious turmoil of the period. His son, Josiah, succeeded him and is noted for significant religious reforms.
