17AmaziahH558 sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 for fifteenH2568H6240 yearsH8141 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 18As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, are they notH3808H1992 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
19And conspiratorsH7195 plottedH7194 against AmaziahH5921 in JerusalemH3389, and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923. But men were sentH7971 after himH310 to LachishH3923, and they killed himH4191 thereH8033. 20They carried him backH5375 onH5921 horsesH5483 and buried himH6912 in JerusalemH3389 withH5973 his fathersH1 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732.
21Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 AzariahH5838,1 whoH1931 was sixteenH8337H6240 years oldH1121H8141, and made him kingH4427 in place ofH8478 his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. 22Azariah was the one who rebuiltH1129 ElathH3592 and restored itH7725 to JudahH3063 afterH310 KingH4428 Amaziah restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1.
23In the fifteenthH2568H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4428 of AmaziahH558 sonH1121 of JoashH3101 over JudahH3063, JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of JehoashH3101 became kingH4427H4428 of IsraelH3478, and he reigned in SamariaH8111 forty-oneH705H259 yearsH8141. 24And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from allH3605 the sins thatH2403 JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398.
