Usage: The name Amon is used in the New Testament to refer to a king of Judah, appearing in genealogical contexts.

Context: Amon was the son of Manasseh and the father of Josiah, making him a king in the lineage of Judah. His reign is noted in the Old Testament, where he is described as having done evil in the sight of the Lord, following the idolatrous practices of his father, Manasseh. Amon's reign was short-lived, lasting only two years before he was assassinated by his own servants. His death led to the ascension of his son, Josiah, who became one of the most reformative kings of Judah.

In the New Testament, Amon is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. This genealogy traces the legal lineage of Jesus through Joseph, highlighting the fulfillment of messianic prophecies and the continuity of God's covenant with David's line. Amon's inclusion in this genealogy underscores the theme of redemption and grace, as even those who strayed from God's commandments are part of the divine plan leading to the Messiah.

Biblical Reference:
• Matthew 1:10 (BSB): "Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah."
