However, the name Amon is transliterated into Greek in the Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies as Ἀμών (Amōn), which can be cross-referenced with Strong's Greek Number 300. Usage: Amon is used as a name for two distinct individuals in the Old Testament: Context: • Amon, King of Judah: Amon was the son of King Manasseh and succeeded him as the king of Judah. His reign is noted for its continuation of idolatrous practices, following in the footsteps of his father. Amon reigned for two years before being assassinated by his own servants in his palace. His death led to the ascension of his son, Josiah, who became one of the most reformative kings of Judah. The account of Amon's reign and death is recorded in 2 Kings 21:19-26 and 2 Chronicles 33:21-25. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) describes his reign as evil in the sight of the LORD, similar to his father Manasseh.
