20. But Amaziah did not listen; for it was God’s doing that they be handed over because they sought the gods of Edom.
21. So Joash, king of Israel, advanced, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth-shemesh of Judah,
22. and Judah was defeated by Israel, and all fled to their tents.
23. But Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, was captured by Joash, king of Israel, at Beth-shemesh. Joash brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
24. He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and hostages as well. Then he returned to Samaria.
25. Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, survived Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, by fifteen years.
26. The rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27. Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from the Lord, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But he was pursued to Lachish and killed there.
