2. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Amon
   builder. (1.) The governor of Samaria in the time of Ahab. The
   prophet Micaiah was committed to his custody (1 Kings 22:26; 2
   Chr. 18:25).
   
     (2.) The son of Manasseh, and fourteenth king of Judah. He
   restored idolatry, and set up the images which his father had
   cast down. Zephaniah (1:4; 3:4, 11) refers to the moral
   depravity prevailing in this king's reign.
   
     He was assassinated (2 Kings 21:18-26: 2 Chr. 33:20-25) by his
   own servants, who conspired against him.
   
     (3.) An Egyptian god, usually depicted with a human body and
   the head of a ram, referred to in Jer. 46:25, where the word
   "multitudes" in the Authorized Version is more appropriately
   rendered "Amon" in the Revised Version. In Nah. 3:8 the
   expression "populous No" of the Authorized version is rendered
   in the Revised Version "No-amon." Amon is identified with Ra,
   the sun-god of Heliopolis.
   
     (4.) Neh. 7:59.
