<p> '''1.''' Son and successor of [[Manasseh]] in the throne of Judah ("skillful in his art", Hebrew). Possibly the name was given by Manasseh, when an idolater, from the [[Egyptian]] god. He reigned from 642 [[B.C.]] to 640 (&nbsp;2 Kings 21:19; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 33:20). His own servants conspired and slew him in his own house, and in their turn were slain by the people, who raised his son [[Josiah]] to the throne. </p> <p> '''2.''' [[Governor]] of the city under [[Ahab]] (&nbsp;1 Kings 22:26). </p>

The Egyptian name is ''Amen'' , "the hidden," or "mysterious"; one of the eight gods of the first order; thief of the Theban triad, worshipped as Amen-ra (i.e. the sun), represented as a man wearing a cap with two plumes, both male and female; accompanied with sacred trees, like the "groves" connected with Baal's worship. In the great Oasis he was worshipped as the ram-headed god Num, and in Meroe as Kneph. The [[Greeks]] called him [[Jupiter]] Ammon. </p>
