2 Kings 14:17-24

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

18The rest of the events of Amaziah’s reign are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.

19Conspirators plotted against him in Jerusalem, so he fled to Lachish. But they sent assassins after him and they killed him there.

20His body was carried back by horses and he was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors in the city of David.

21All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in his father Amaziah’s place.

22Azariah built up Elat and restored it to Judah after the king had passed away.

23In the fifteenth year of the reign of Judah’s King Amaziah, son of Joash, Jeroboam son of Joash became king over Israel. He reigned for forty-one years in Samaria.

24He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not repudiate the sinful ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin.
