2 Kings

2 Kings 14:17–22

¹⁷Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. ¹⁸As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

¹⁹And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there. ²⁰They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.

²¹Then all the people of Judah took Azariah,^d who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. ²²Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath^e and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
