17 ^aAmaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 Then 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 ^aAzariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

22 He built ^aElath and restored it to Judah, after² the king rested with his fathers.
