Bible in Basic English
He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;
Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.
But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.
Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.

Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
