2 Kings 14:17-22
New King James Version
17 (A)Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 19 And (B)they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to (C)Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. 20 Then they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 And all the people of Judah took (D)Azariah,[a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 22 He built (E)Elath[b] and restored it to Judah, after [c]the king rested with his fathers.

New International Version
17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 18 As for the other events of Amaziah’s reign, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
19 They conspired(A) against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish,(B) but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. 20 He was brought back by horse(C) and was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors, in the City of David.
21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah,[a](D) who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 22 He was the one who rebuilt Elath(E) and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
