1. In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
2. He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3. And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4. Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
