The conspiracy of Amon's servants against him and their assassination of him in his house indicate the violent end to his reign. The death at the hands of his own officials suggests internal rejection of his rule and indicates the instability resulting from his spiritual failure. The specification that the death occurred in his house, his own residence, indicates the intrusion of violence into the royal household. The assassination represents a practical consequence of his rule's failure to inspire loyalty or respect. The violent end suggests that the judgment for his evil extended beyond spiritual consequences to affect his physical security.
