Everything he did and accomplished is written in the official records of the kings of Israel. ¹⁶ Jehoash joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in Samaria in the royal tombs of Israel. Jehoash’s son Jeroboam became the next king after him.

¹⁷ Amaziah king of Judah lived for 15 years after Jehoash king of Israel died. Amaziah was the son of Joash. Jehoash was the son of Jehoahaz. ¹⁸ The other events of Amaziah’s rule are written down. They are written in the official records of the kings of Judah.

¹⁹ Some people made evil plans against Amaziah in Jerusalem. So he ran away to Lachish. But they sent men to Lachish after him. There they killed him. ²⁰ His body was brought back on a horse. Then he was buried in the family tomb in Jerusalem, the City of David.

²¹ All the people of Judah made Uzziah king. He was 16 years old. They made him king in place of his father Amaziah. ²² Uzziah rebuilt Elath. He brought it under Judah’s control again. He did it after Amaziah joined the members of his family who had already died.
