²⁵And Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years. ²⁶And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? ²⁷And from the time that Amaziah turned aside from following Jehovah, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; and they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there. ²⁸And they brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

Chapter 26

¹And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. ²It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
