1 In the second year of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Jehoash king of Judah began to reign.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
3 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh, only not as David his ancestor; as all which Jehoash his father had done, he did.
4 Only the high places were not removed; the people were still sacrificing and offering incense on the high places.
5 It happened that when the kingdom was firmly in his hand, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
