Notes

2 Kings 14:19–20

Like his father Joash (2 Kings 12:20–21), Amaziah was killed by assassins. The writer of Chronicles says his lack of faith led to the plot against him (2 Chronicles 25:27).
Lachish, southwest of Jerusalem, was where King Sennacherib of Assyria won a key battle during his invasion of Judah in 701 BC (2 Kings 18:14). Nebuchadnezzar II also captured it during his attack on Jerusalem in 588 BC (Jeremiah 34:7).
