Commentator Matthew Henry notes that Amon's short, two-year reign serves as a solemn warning. While his father Manasseh also did evil, he eventually humbled himself and repented. Amon, however, did not. His story cautions believers against presuming upon God's mercy, thinking they can repent later. Amon's swift end is a call to immediate self-examination and turning to God, before death fixes one's spiritual state.
