25 Amaziah lived fifteen years after Jehoash died.
26 Everything else Amaziah did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 As soon as Amaziah started disobeying the Lord, some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah. He was able to escape to the town of Lachish, but another group of people caught him and killed him there.
28 His body was taken to Jerusalem on horseback and buried beside his ancestors.
