2 Kings 14 - Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 14

In this chapter we have the good reign of Amaziah king of Judah, his victories over the Edomites, and war with Jehoash king of Israel, by whom he was taken, who died quickly after, 2 Kings 14:1, but Amaziah lived fifteen years afterwards, and was slain by a conspiracy against him, and Azariah his son reigned in his stead, 2 Kings 14:17, and a short account is given of the reign of Jeroboam the second, king of Israel, 2 Kings 14:23.
