20 But Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) would not listen, for this had come from God {Elohim} in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom (red). 21 So Jehoash (given by the Lord) king of Israel (he wrestles with God) advanced, and he and Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) king of Judah (praised) faced each other at Beth-shemesh (house of the sun) in Judah. 22 And Judah (praised) was routed before Israel (he wrestles with God), and every man fled to his own home. 23 There at Beth-shemesh (house of the sun), Jehoash (given by the Lord) king of Israel (he wrestles with God) captured Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) king of Judah (praised), the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz (Ahaziah). Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem (city of peace) and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim (doubly fruitful) Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits <600 ft / 182.9 m>. 24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God {Elohim} with Obed-edom (servant of Edom) and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria (watch mountain). 25 Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) son of Joash (given by the Lord) king of Judah (praised) lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized) king of Israel (he wrestles with God). 26 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah (YHWH is mighty), from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah (praised) and Israel (he wrestles with God)? 27 From the time that Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) turned from following the LORD {YHWH}, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem (city of peace), and he fled to Lachish (invincible). But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there. 28 They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah [City of David]. 2 Chronicles 25:20-28, Berean Annotated Bible.
