19Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.
20And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.
21Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
23In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.
24He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.
25He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.
