Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah — Amon (אָמוֹן, *Amon*) reigns briefly (two years), suggesting either youth and inexperience or early death. His accession at twenty-two years indicates a young, possibly ideologically fractured reign. The mother's name suggests no significant priestly connection unlike earlier Judean queens.
