English

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

Amon ruled briefly from 642 to 640 BC and continued his father's evil ways. Manasseh's repentance and reforms were too late to influence Amon or the people of Judah.
He abandoned the LORD: Amon completely rejected his faith (see also 2 Chronicles 33:23).
