AMAZIAH - A>@ - (the strength of the Lord). Son of Joash, and eighth king of Judah, reigned B.C. 837-809. He succeeded to the throne at the age of 25, on the murder of his father, and punished the murderers. In order to restore his kingdom to the greatness of Jehoshaphat’s days, he made war on the Edomites, defeated them in the Valley of Salt, south of the Dead Sea, and took their capital, Selah or Petra, to which he gave the name of Jokteel, i.e. "God-subdued." Flushed with his success, he challenged Joash king of Israel to battle, but was completely defeated, and himself was taken prisoner and conveyed by Joash to Jerusalem, which opened its gates to the conqueror. Amaziah lived 15 years after the death of Joash; and in the 29th year of his reign was murdered by conspirators at Lachish, whither he had retired from Jerusalem for safety. ( kjv@2Chronicles:25:27) A descendant of Simeon ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:34) A Levite. ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:45) Priest of the golden calf at Bethel who endeavored to drive the prophet Amos from Israel into Judah. kjv@Amos:7:11-12-14)

Amaziah @ strengthened by Jehovah.

(1.) A Levite, son of Hilkiah, of the descendants of Ethan the Merarite ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:45).

(2.) The son and successor of Joash, and eighth king of the separate kingdom of Judah ( kjv@2Kings:14:1-4). He began his reign by punishing the murderers of his father (5-7; kjv@2Chronicals:25:3-5). He was the first to employ a mercenary army of 100,000 Israelite soldiers, which he did in his attempt to bring the Edomites again under the yoke of Judah ( kjv@2Chronicals:25:5-6). He was commanded by a prophet of the Lord to send back the mercenaries, which he did ( kjv@2Chronicals:25:7-10, 13), much to their annoyance. His obedience to this command was followed by a decisive victory over the Edomites ( kjv@2Chronicals:25:14-16). Amaziah began to worship some of the idols he took from the Edomites, and this was his ruin, for he was vanquished by Joash, king of Israel, whom he challenged to battle. The disaster he thus brought upon Judah by his infatuation in proclaiming war against Israel probably occasioned the conspiracy by which he lost his life ( kjv@2Kings:14:8-14, 19). He was slain at Lachish, whither he had fled, and his body was brought upon horses to Jerusalem, where it was buried in the royal sepulchre ( kjv@2Kings:14:19-20; kjv@2Chronicals:25:27-28).

(3.) A priest of the golden calves at Bethel kjv@Amos:7:10-17).

(4.) The father of Joshah, one of the Simeonite chiefs in the time of Hezekiah ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:34).
