2 Kings 12 - 14

Joash's reign is characterized by obedience to God's laws.  He seeks to restore the temple and is successful in seeing the repairs accomplished.  Joash is assassinated and succeeded by his son, Amaziah.  Meanwhile in Israel, Jehu's son reigns yet continues to lead his people to do evil.  Elisha the prophet dies and is buried.
Amaziah the king of Judah reigns over the land when an assault takes place from Israel.  Much of the land is ransacked and valuable resources taken.  Amaziah is succeeded by Uzziah.
