2 Kings 14:1-3

Common English Bible

Amaziah rules Judah

14 Amaziah, the son of Judah’s King Jehoash,^[a] became king in the second year of Israel’s King Joash, who was Jehoahaz’s son. ² Amaziah was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem. ³ He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, but not as well as his ancestor King David. He did everything his father Jehoash did.
