2 Kings 14:17-29

[17] And Amaziah  the son  of Joash  king  of Judah  lived  after  the death  of Jehoash  son  of Jehoahaz  king  of Israel  fifteen  years.  [18] 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  [20] And they brought  him on horses:  and he was buried  at Jerusalem  with his fathers  in the city  of David.  [21] And all the people  of Judah  took  Azariah,  which was sixteen  years  old,  and made him king  instead of his father  Amaziah.  [22] He built  Elath,  and restored  it to Judah,  after  that 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  and one  years.  [24] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD:  he departed  not from all the sins  of Jeroboam  the son  of Nebat,  who made Israel  to sin.  [25] He restored  the coast  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 spake  by the hand  of his servant  Jonah,  the son  of Amittai,  the prophet,  which was of Gathhepher.  [26] For the LORD  saw  the affliction  of Israel,  that it was very  bitter:  for there was not  any shut up,  nor any left,  nor any helper  for Israel.  [27] And the LORD  said  not that he would blot out  the name  of Israel  from under heaven:  but 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,  which belonged to Judah,  for Israel,  are they not written  in the book  of the chronicles  of the kings  of Israel?  [29] And Jeroboam  slept  with his fathers,  even with the kings  of Israel;  and Zachariah  his son  reigned  in his stead.
