Haruz

Haruz of Jotbah was the father of Meshullemeth, who became the wife of King Manasseh of Judah and the mother of King Amon (2 Kings 21:19). He was thus the maternal grandfather of Amon, who reigned briefly over Judah before being assassinated by his servants. Haruz's daughter was queen mother during the reign of one of Judah's most idolatrous kings, and his family is remembered through this royal connection.
