מלכים ב, פרק כ״א, פסוק כ׳

The reign of Amon, king of Judah, was defined by a direct continuation of his father's sinful legacy. He fully embraced idol worship, actively bowing down to foreign gods [אברבנאל]. The Sages illustrate the severity of his wickedness by noting that his actions were driven by a premeditated desire to anger God. There are different perspectives on the depths of this rebellion. One view suggests he burned the Torah, while another explains that he committed incest with his mother, stating clearly that his sole purpose was to provoke God [אברבנאל].

Although his actions closely mirrored the crimes of his father, Manasseh, the similarity ended with their wickedness. Manasseh eventually surrendered to God and repented. Amon, however, never abandoned his evil ways. Completely unaffected by his father's eventual return to God, he chose instead to multiply his guilt, adding even more sins to the offenses that had already been committed [אברבנאל].
