The death of Yehudah’s King Amatsyah

2 Ki 14:17–22

2 Chr 25:25–28

17Yehudah’s King Amatsyah (Yoash’s son) lived another fifteen years after the death of Yisrael’s King Yehoash (Yehoahaz’s son). 18Everything else that Amatsyah said is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah.

19Some people in Yerushalem had plotted to assassinate him, but he fled to Lakish. However, they followed him there and killed him in the city. 20His body was carried back on horses, and he was buried in his ancestral tomb in Yerushalem in the city of David. 21Then all the people of Yehudah took sixteen year old Azaryah and made him king to replace his late father Amatsyah. 22Azaryah built up Eylat and he reestablished it as part of Yehudah before he died.

25After the death of Yisrael’s King Yoash (son of Yehoahaz), Yehudah’s King Amatsyah lived for a further fifteen years. 26The account of everything else done by Amatsyah was written in the scroll of ‘The Kings of Yehudah and Yisrael’. 27From the time that Amatsyah had turned from following Yahweh, there was a conspiracy to assassinate him in Yerushalem, but he fled to Lakish. However, they traced him to Lakish and killed him there. 28They used horses to carry his body back to Yerushalem, and he was buried with his ancestors in ‘The City of David’.[fn]


25:28 The Hebrew actually has the unusual ‘The City of Yehudah’ here.
