Advertisement - Guide continues below
Amon
King Amon is the wicked son of a wicked dad, King Manasseh, and rules Judah just as evilly. (However, he's also the father of the really good king, Josiah.) He is killed by a conspiracy, but the people rise up and kill the conspirators—and then they make Josiah king.
