2 KINGS 21:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
2 Kgs 21:212 Kgs 21:23
“And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.”
He abandoned the LORD, the God of his ancestors, and did not walk in the way of the LORD — Amon's fundamental sin consists of abandoning the LORD (עָזַב אֶת־יְהוָה, *azav et-YHWH*). The contrast—'abandoned the LORD, the God of his ancestors'—emphasizes the betrayal of ancestral covenant. He does not 'walk in the way of the LORD,' a phrase indicating covenant obedience.
