Manasseh, Amon and Josiah (16th century print) Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Amon, from the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Amon of Judah was the fifteenth King of Judah who, according to the biblical account, succeeded his father Manasseh of Judah. Amon is most remembered for his idolatrous practices during his short two-year reign, which led to a revolt against him and eventually to his assassination in c. 641 BC.
