17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen e years after the death of Jehoash 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 e of the Kings of Judah ? 19 They conspired against him in Jerusalem , and he fled to Lachish ; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there . 20 Then they brought him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:17-20
Commentary on 2 Kings 14:15-22
(Read 2 Kings 14:15-22)
Amaziah survived his conqueror fifteen years. He was slain by his own subjects. Azariah, or Uzziah, seems to have been very young when his father was slain. Though the years of his reign are reckoned from that event, he was not fully made king till eleven years afterwards.
