Against Me Are Ye

King Amon

Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD. And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.-2 Kings 21:19-24***King Amon was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Amon's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather King David was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. King Saul, the 1st king to reign, was from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin.  Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Amon was the 14th king to rule Judah. Some of Amon's ancestors, including David, only worshiped the Lord God. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that David was a man after God's own heart. Rehoboam's son Abijam (Abijah) was the 2nd king to rule Judah. Abijam's grandson Jehoshaphat was the 4th king. Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-great-grandson Jotham was the 10th king. Jotham's son Ahaz was the 11th king. Hezekiah, the son born to Ahaz and Abi (Abijah), was the 12th king. Manasseh, the son born to Hezekiah and Hephzibah, was the 13th king. David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijam, Jehoshaphat, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Manasseh died peaceably. Abijam's son Asa, the 3rd king, Jehoshaphat's son Joram (Jehoram), the 5th king, and Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-grandson Uzziah (Azariah), the 9th king, died while afflicted with a disease. Joram's son Ahaziah, the 6th king, and Ahaziah's grandson Amaziah, the 8th king, died after being fatally attacked. Ahaziah's son Joash (Jehoash), the 7th king, was fatally attacked while possibly also afflicted with a disease. Amon's son Josiah, the 15th king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. After Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, warned Josiah not to attack him, archers attacked Josiah and 39-year-old Josiah died. Jehoahaz, the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 16th king to rule Judah. During Jehoahaz's 3-month reign, Necho took Jehoahaz captive and Jehoahaz died in Egypt. Moreover, Necho set Eliakim, the son born to Josiah and Zebudah, as king, and renamed him Jehoiakim. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar set Josiah and Hamutal's son Mattaniah as king and renamed him Zedekiah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The Babylonians killed Zedekiah's sons while Zedekiah watched, and put out Zedekiah's eyesight, and took Zedekiah to Babylon. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Jeremiah 39:1-18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
