2 Kings 14:1-4 ▼

1 Jehoahaz's son King Jehoash was in his second year as king of Israel when King Amaziah, son of Joash of Judah, began to rule.

2 Amaziah was 25 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.

3 He did what the LORD considered right, but not exactly what his ancestor David had done. He did everything his father Joash had done.

4 But the illegal places of worship were still not torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites.
