His reign was marked by idolatry and evil practices, following in the footsteps of his father, who had led Judah into sin. Amon's acts are significant as they reflect the continued spiritual decline of Judah during this period. His reign was short, lasting only two years, which suggests that his actions were impactful enough to be noted despite the brevity of his rule.<p><b>along with his accomplishments</b><br>The term "accomplishments" here may refer to both his political and religious actions. Amon's reign did not see significant positive achievements; rather, his accomplishments were largely negative, as he perpetuated the idolatrous practices initiated by Manasseh. This highlights the importance of leadership in guiding the spiritual direction of a nation, a theme consistent throughout the biblical narrative.<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?</b><br>This phrase indicates that there was a historical record, now lost, that detailed the reigns of the kings of Judah. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah is distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and served as a source for the authors of Kings. This reference underscores the historical nature of the biblical account, suggesting that the events described were well-documented and known to the original audience. It also points to the importance of historical records in understanding the full scope of a king's reign, beyond what is captured in the biblical text.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amon.htm">Amon</a></b><br>Amon was the son of Manasseh and king of Judah.
