Amaziah King of Judah^(A)

25 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ·ruled [reigned] for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin, and she was from Jerusalem. ² Amaziah did what ·the Lord said was right [^Lwas pleasing/proper in the eyes/sight of the Lord], but ·he did not really want to obey him [not wholeheartedly]. ³ As soon as Amaziah ·took strong [secured; established] control of the kingdom, he executed the officers who had ·murdered [assassinated] his father the king.
