[14:17] King Amaziah of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of King Jehoash of Israel.
[14:18] Everything else that Amaziah did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
[14:19] There was a plot in Jerusalem to assassinate Amaziah, so he fled to the city of Lachish, but his enemies followed him there and killed him.
[14:20] His body was carried back to Jerusalem on a horse and was buried in the royal tombs in David's City.
[14:21] The people of Judah then crowned his sixteen-year-old son Uzziah as king.
[14:22] Uzziah reconquered and rebuilt Elath after his father's death.
