Amaziah beginneth to reign well; slayeth his father’s murderers, 2Ch_25:1-4. Having hired an army of Israelites against the Edomites, at the word of a prophet he dismisseth them, 2Ch_25:5-10; and with his own people overthroweth the Edomites: the Israelites in their return home spoil, 2Ch_25:11-13. Amaziah serveth the gods of Edom, and despiseth the admonition of the prophet, 2Ch_25:14-16. He provoketh Joash to his overthrow, 2Ch_25:17-21. His reign; he is slain by conspiracy, 2Ch_25:25-28.
