22 Judah was defeated by Israel, and everyone ran home.

25 Judah's King Amaziah, Jehoash's son, lived fifteen years after the death of Israel's King Joash, Jehoahaz's son.
26 The rest of Amaziah's deeds, from beginning to end, aren't they written in the official records of Israel's and Judah's kings?
