17 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah liveth after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years, 18 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 19 And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there, 20 and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Kings 14:17-20
Commentary on 2 Kings 14:15-22
(Read 2 Kings 14:15-22)
Amaziah survived his conqueror fifteen years. He was slain by his own subjects. Azariah, or Uzziah, seems to have been very young when his father was slain. Though the years of his reign are reckoned from that event, he was not fully made king till eleven years afterwards.
