25 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;
And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah liveth after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years, and the rest of the matters of Amaziah are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there, and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David. And all the people of Judah take Azariah, and he `is' a son of sixteen years, and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah; he hath built Elath, and bringeth it back to Judah, after the lying of the king with his fathers.
