20 But Amaziah would not listen; then Joash king of Israel and Amaziah king of Judah went up 21 And confronted each other in battle, at the town of Beth-shemesh, which is in the border of the land of Judah. 22 And Judah was defeated before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. 23 And Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah in the town of Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 24 And he took all the silver and the gold and all the vessels that were found in the house of God, together with the vessels that were kept by Ober-edom, and the treasures of the king's house and the vessels of the king's house and the vessels of gold, and returned to Samaria. 25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, his servants made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there. 28 And his servants brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David. 2 Chronicles 25:20-28, Lamsa Bible.
