2 Kings 14:17-22

New Living Translation

¹⁷ King Amaziah of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of King Jehoash of Israel. ¹⁸ The rest of the events in Amaziah’s reign are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah.

¹⁹ There 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. ²⁰ They brought his body back to Jerusalem on a horse, and he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David.

²¹ All the people of Judah had crowned Amaziah’s sixteen-year-old son, Uzziah,^[a] as king in place of his father, Amaziah. ²² After his father’s death, Uzziah rebuilt the town of Elath and restored it to Judah.
