Amaziah was the king of Judah, and his reign is detailed in <a href="/2_kings/14.htm">2 Kings 14:1-20</a>. He was known for his initial obedience to God, but later his pride led to his downfall. The synchronization of reigns between Judah and Israel helps establish a timeline for biblical events. This period was marked by political instability and frequent conflicts between the two kingdoms.Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash (also known as Joash), ascended to the throne of Israel. He is distinguished from Jeroboam I, the first king of the northern kingdom after the division. Jeroboam II's reign is noted for its military successes and territorial expansion, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/14-25.htm">2 Kings 14:25-28</a>. Despite his achievements, he continued the idolatrous practices of his predecessors, which were condemned by the prophets. His reign is a reminder of the persistent spiritual decline in Israel despite outward prosperity.and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, established by Omri (<a href="/1_kings/16-24.htm">1 Kings 16:24</a>). Jeroboam II's long reign of forty-one years was one of the most prosperous periods for Israel, marked by economic growth and relative peace. However, this prosperity was superficial, as the nation continued in idolatry and social injustice, which the prophets Amos and Hosea strongly criticized. The lengthy reign of Jeroboam II highlights the patience of God, who allowed time for repentance despite the nation's persistent sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/amaziah.htm">Amaziah</a> King of Judah, son of Joash.

This reign, the most important of those belonging to the kingdom of Israel since that of Ahab, is treated with great brevity by the writer, whose interest is far more in Judah than in Israel. Seven verses only are devoted to him. The result of his wars is given without any account of the wars themselves. And the great fact of his ruling over Damascus only comes in by a sort of afterthought (ver. 28). The usual formulas are followed in introducing his reign and missing it. Verse 23. - In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash King of Judah - this note of time agrees with those in <a href="/2_kings/13-10.htm">2 Kings 13:10</a> and 2 Kings 45:1, 17, but not with that in <a href="/2_kings/15-1.htm">2 Kings 15:1</a> (see the comment on that passage) - Jeroboam the son of Joash King of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years. Josephus says "forty years., Many moderns (Thenius, Bahr, and others) extend the term to fifty-one years. Some suppose that Jeroboam was joint-king with his father in Amaziah's third year, solo king from his fifteenth. But it is better to acknowledge the general confusion of the chronology, and to regard it as uncertain, unless where a synchronism is distinctly made out. Such assured synchronisms are the following: (1) The synchronism of Ahab with Jehoshaphat: (2) the synchronism of Jehoram, Ahab's son, with the same; (3) the synchronism of Jehu's first year with the first year of Athaliah; . . . <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/14-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In the fifteenth חֲמֵשׁ־ (ḥă·mêš-) Number - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2568.htm">Strong's 2568: </a> Five year בִּשְׁנַת֙ (biš·naṯ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8141.htm">Strong's 8141: </a> A year of the reign מֶ֣לֶךְ (me·leḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Amaziah לַאֲמַצְיָ֥הוּ (la·’ă·maṣ·yā·hū) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_558.htm">Strong's 558: </a> Amaziah -- 'Yah is mighty', the name of several Israelites son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Joash יוֹאָ֖שׁ (yō·w·’āš) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3101.htm">Strong's 3101: </a> Joash over Judah, יְהוּדָ֑ה (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3063.htm">Strong's 3063: </a> Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites Jeroboam יָרָבְעָ֨ם (yā·rā·ḇə·‘ām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3379.htm">Strong's 3379: </a> Jeroboam -- 'the people increase', the name of two Israelites kings son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jehoash יוֹאָ֤שׁ (yō·w·’āš) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3101.htm">Strong's 3101: </a> Joash became king מָ֠לַךְ (mā·laḵ) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4427.htm">Strong's 4427: </a> To reign, inceptively, to ascend the throne, to induct into royalty, to take counsel of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc [and he reigned] in Samaria בְּשֹׁ֣מְר֔וֹן (bə·šō·mə·rō·wn) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8111.htm">Strong's 8111: </a> Samaria -- capital of northern kingdom of Israel forty-one אַרְבָּעִ֥ים (’ar·bā·‘îm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_705.htm">Strong's 705: </a> Forty years. שָׁנָ֔ה (šā·nāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8141.htm">Strong's 8141: </a> A year <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_kings/14-23.htm">2 Kings 14:23 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_kings/14-23.htm">OT History: 2 Kings 14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/2_kings/14-22.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Kings 14:22"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Kings 14:22" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/2_kings/14-24.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Kings 14:24"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Kings 14:24" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
