Conspiracy and Death of Amaziah

2 Kings 14:17-22

Amatzyah the son of Yo'ash king of Y'hudah lived another fifteen years after the death of Y'ho'ash son of Y'ho'achaz, king of Isra'el.

Other activities of Amatzyah are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Y'hudah.

Because of a conspiracy formed against him in Yerushalayim, Amatzyah fled to Lakhish; but they followed him to Lakhish and killed him there.

They brought his body back on horses, and he was buried in Yerushalayim with his ancestors in the City of David.

Then all the people of Y'hudah took 'Azaryah at the age of sixteen and made him king in place of his father Amatzyah.

'Azaryah recovered Eilat for Y'hudah and rebuilt it; after that the king [Amatzyahu] slept with his ancestors.
