King Amaziah of Judah: From Faithful to Foolish (2 Kings 14:1-20/2 Chronicles 25:1-28)

Amaziah, king of Judah, began his reign following God’s laws but lacked full devotion, mirroring his father Joash’s flawed example. Though he achieved victory over the Edomites, his pride and idolatry led to conflict with Israel, Judah’s defeat, and his eventual capture. Amaziah’s life demonstrates the dangers of sin and rebellion while underscoring humanity’s need for God’s grace through Jesus Christ.
