*
Twenty and two years old was Amos when he began to reign ,
and he reigned two years in Jerusalem :
and his mother ’
s name was Mesollam ,
daughter of Arus of Jeteba .
*
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord ,
as Manasses his father did .
*
And he walked in all the way in which his father walked ,
and served the idols which 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 Amos conspired against him ,
and slew the king in his house .
*
And the people of the land (

Gr .
smote (:
note )
slew all that had conspired against king Amos ;
and the people of the land made Josias king in his room .
*
And the rest of the acts of Amos ,
even all that he did ,
behold ,
are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda ?
*
And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza :
and Josias his son reigned in his stead .
