The Chronicler recounts Amaziah’s reign similarly to that of Joash, dividing it into two parts: faithfulness to the Lord (1-10) and unfaithfulness (11-28). The text of 2 Kings 14:1-22 presents a theological challenge for the Chronicler: how to reconcile the defeat by Israel and the death of a mostly righteous king? To address this, he adds verses 5-10.13-16, and 20, where Amaziah’s death is seen as a result of his sin. The story is highlighted by the involvement of two prophets (7:15). The king follows the first prophet, leading to victory; he ignores the second, resulting in defeat.
