2 Tawarikh 25:25-28

25:25 King Amaziah son of Joash of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of King Joash son of Jehoahaz of Israel. 25:26 The rest of the events of Amaziah’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel. ¹  25:27 From the time Amaziah turned from following the Lord, conspirators plotted against him in Jerusalem, ²  so he fled to Lachish. But they sent assassins after him ³  and they killed him there. 25:28 His body was carried back by horses, ⁴  and he was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors ⁵  in the City of David. ⁶ 

[25:26]  ¹ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Amaziah, the former and the latter, are they not – behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.”

[25:27]  ² tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”

[25:27]  ³ tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”

[25:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they carried him on horses.”

[25:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers.”

[25:28]  ⁶ tc The Hebrew text has “Judah,” but some medieval mss read “David,” as does the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 14:20.

[25:28]  sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
