2 Kings 14:17-24

17Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.

18The rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

19Now a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and Amaziah fled [south] to Lachish; but they sent [men] after him to Lachish and killed him there.

20Then they carried him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.

21And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was [only] sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

22He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king [his father Amaziah] slept with his fathers [in death].

23In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam [II] the son of Joash (Jehoash) king of Israel became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.

24He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not turn from all the [idolatrous] sins of Jeroboam [I] the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.
