2 Kings 14:17-24

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

18The rest of the events in Amaziah’s reign are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah.

19There was a conspiracy against Amaziah’s life in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But his enemies sent assassins after him, and they killed him there.

20They brought his body back to Jerusalem on a horse, and he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David.

21All the people of Judah had crowned Amaziah’s sixteen-year-old son, Uzziah, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.

22After his father’s death, Uzziah rebuilt the town of Elath and restored it to Judah.

23Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash, began to rule over Israel in the fifteenth year of King Amaziah’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria forty-one years.

24He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to commit.
