Amaziah of Judah was the king of Judah, and son and successor of Joash (2 Kings 14:1-4).
Amaziah began his reign by punishing the murderers of his father (2 Kings 5-7; 2 Chronicles 25:3-5).
Amaziah began to worship some of the idols he took from the Edomites, which the author of Chronicles believes led to his ruin and his defeat by Jehoash, king of Israel whom he had challenged to battle.
The son and successor of Joash, and eighth king of the separate kingdom of Judah (2 Kings 14:1-4).
Amaziah began to worship some of the idols he took from the Edomites, and this was his ruin, for he was vanquished by Joash, king of Israel, whom he challenged to battle.
The disaster he thus brought upon Judah by his infatuation for proclaiming war against Israel probably the cause of the conspiracy by which he lost his life (2 Kings 14:8-14,19).
