Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a royal genealogy for Judah, recording the direct paternal line immediately after Manasseh.
The words — אָמוֹן ('a.Mon) = Amon and יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ (yo.shi.Ya.hu) = Josiah are listed consecutively, each explicitly marked as "his son" (בְּנ֖וֹ/בְנֽוֹ).
The thread — This same succession appears in the historical accounts of 2 Kings 21:19, 2 Kings 23:30, and 2 Chronicles 34:1.
Why it lands — The text establishes an unbroken royal line, requiring the reader to track the covenant succession through generations without assuming the line ends in failure.
