Context of 2 Kings 14:20

18The other things that happened while Amaziah was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’. 19Some people in Jerusalem made a plan to kill Amaziah. So he ran away to Lachish. But the people in Jerusalem sent men to catch him in Lachish. They killed Amaziah there. They carried his dead body back to Jerusalem on a horse. They buried him there beside his ancestors in the City of David. 21All the people in Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king instead of his father. Azariah was 16 years old. 22He was the king who built Elath into a strong city again. He put it back under Judah's power. He did that after his father Amaziah had died.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20They brought him on horses - i. e. they conveyed his body back to Jerusalem in the royal chariot. The combination of relentless animosity against the living prince with the deepest respect for his dead remains is very characteristic of an Oriental people.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-22Verses 15-22 Amaziah survived his conqueror fifteen years. He was slain by his own subjects. Azariah, or Uzziah, seems to have been very young when his father was slain. Though the years of his reign are reckoned from that event, he was not fully made king till eleven years afterwards.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19-20Like his father Joash (2 Kings 12:20–21), Amaziah was killed by assassins. The writer of Chronicles says his lack of faith led to the plot against him (2 Chronicles 25:27). Lachish, southwest of Jerusalem, was where King Sennacherib of Assyria won a key battle during his invasion of Judah in 701 BC (2 Kings 18:14).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 19-2019-20. they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem--Amaziah's apostasy (2Ch 25:27) was followed by a general maladministration, especially the disastrous issue of the war with Israel. The ruinous condition of Jerusalem, the plunder of the temple, and the loss of their children who were taken as hostages [2Ki 14:13, 14], lost him the respect and attachment not of the grandees only, but of his subjects generally, who were in rebellion.
