מלכים ב, פרק כ״א, פסוק כ״ג

King Amon's reign comes to a sudden close, not on a distant battlefield, but within the walls of his own palace. His tragic end is brought about by the very people closest to him, as his servants rise up in a deliberate rebellion [מצודת ציון]. The motive behind this uprising likely stems directly from the king's own behavior, which fueled a deep and growing resentment among his staff [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Beneath the surface of this betrayal lies a deeper spiritual reality. The unfolding events serve as a direct punishment, operating on the principle of measure for measure. Because Amon completely rejected the authority of his Master in heaven, God, his own servants mirrored this rebellion. They rejected his earthly authority and struck him down in his own home [אברבנאל].
