In this chapter Amaziah was king of Judah, and once he was fully established, he executed the men who killed his father, King Joash. He defeated the Edomites and expanded the southern border of Judah. After that victory, he was prideful, and asked for a face off with Jehoash, king of Israel. Jehoash called the king of Judah a thistle in comparison to Jehoash as a cedar in Lebanon. Amaziah did not head the warning, and the Jehoash of Israel, overcame Judah and they fled. He broke down a part of the wall of Jerusalem, and took the gold, silver, and articles that were in both the temple and the royal palace. He even took hostages and returned to Israel. Amaziah was killed, and his son Uzziah, also known as Azariah became king. During his reign, the border of Judah extended all the way south to the port of Elath which was a waterway connecting to the Red Sea. Jeroboam II became the next king in Israel, and with his leadership, he expanded the southern border into Aram/Syria's boundary to the Dead Sea and up north almost as far as King Solomon did, retaking the city of Damascus and Hamath. It was also during Jeroboam II that the Lord used the prophet Jonah to speak to the king (14:25). The Lord saw the Israelite's suffering, and he raised up Jeroboam II to help them. The chapter ends with Jeroboam's son, Zechariah, succeeding him as king.
