18. And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
19. And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20. And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
21. Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
22. He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.
23. In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.
24. And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

28. But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
29. And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
