And the rest of the acts of Amaziah,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19
Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and slew him there.
20
And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
21
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who
was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22
He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
23
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, began to reign in Samaria
and reigned forty-one years.
24
And he did
that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
25
He restored the borders of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he had spoken by the hand of his slave Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, who
was of Gathhepher.
26
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel,
that it was very bitter, for
there was no one shut up nor any left nor any to help Israel;
27
and the LORD had not yet determined to blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; therefore, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Joash.
28
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might, how he warred and how he recovered Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
