1
In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda begin to reign.
2
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name Joadim of Jerusalem.
3
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not as David his father: he did according to all things that his father Joas did.
4
Only he removed not the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
5
And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants that had slain the king his father.
