2 Kings 14:19-27 New International Version (NIV)

19. They conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.

20. He was brought back by horse and was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors, in the City of David.

21. Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

22. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.

23. In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years.

24. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.

25. He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Dead Sea, in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

26. The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free, was suffering; there was no one to help them.

27. And since the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
