 Amaziah (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
The son and successor of Joash, and eighth king of the separate kingdom of Judah (2 Kings 14:1-4).
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 for proclaiming war against Israel probably the cause of the conspiracy by which he lost his life (2 Kings 14:8-14,19).

 Love The Lord 2nd Kings Lesson 14
II Kings 14:17 "And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years." We see, from this, that Amaziah was not killed in the battle with Joash of Israel.
II Kings 14:18 "And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?" As Israel had a record book of their kings, so did Judah.

 Amaziah king of Judah; Wins war against Edom; Loses war against Israel
Instead of thanking God for his victory, Amaziah "brought the gods of the people of Seir (that is, of the Edomites, whom he'd just defeated), set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them" (2Chronicles 25:14).
Yet Amaziah would not see reason—indeed, this development "came from God," we are told, as a way for Him to impose judgment (verse 20).
This would mean that Amaziah was a captive of Israel for 10 years, during which time his son Uzziah (or Azariah) was elevated to the throne of Judah.

For the first sixty years the kings of Judah aimed at re-establishing their authority over the kingdom of the other ten tribes, so that there was a state of perpetual war between them.

 Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright by J.H. Allen (the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel)
Israel displeased the Lord by her idolatry, but it is quite evident that, for some time after the division, Judah pleased him by her faithfulness; and it is also evident that, for a short period, fraternal relations existed between the two kingdoms.
But there came a time when Judah was not among the faithful, and when she lost her power with God; and there also came a time when the fraternal rela­tions were broken between these brother nations.
And, since it is true that Judah and Joseph are the inheritors of the two special promises which pertain to the two covenants, we need not be surprised at this, but should rather expect that these two names would stand thus contrasted.
