Context — The Death of Amaziah
25Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
26As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
27From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
28They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.Cross References

2 Chronicles 25:27 Summary
This verse, 2 Chronicles 25:27, teaches us that when we turn away from God, we can face serious consequences, just like Amaziah did. Amaziah's decision to turn away from the Lord led to a conspiracy against him, and ultimately, his death. This reminds us of the importance of staying faithful to God and following His commands, as stated in Deuteronomy 28:1-2 and Joshua 1:8. By trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11, we can avoid the pitfalls of disobedience and live a life that honors Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What led to the conspiracy against Amaziah?
The conspiracy against Amaziah was formed after he turned away from following the Lord, as stated in 2 Chronicles 25:27, which is a consequence of disobedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2 and Joshua 1:8.
Why did Amaziah flee to Lachish?
Amaziah fled to Lachish in an attempt to escape the conspiracy formed against him in Jerusalem, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 25:27, but this attempt was unsuccessful, highlighting the inevitability of God's judgment, as noted in Proverbs 28:1 and 1 Kings 12:24.
What is the significance of Amaziah's death in Lachish?
Amaziah's death in Lachish serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 25:27, and the fulfillment of God's judgment, as stated in 2 Chronicles 24:20 and Ezekiel 3:18-20.
How does Amaziah's story relate to our lives today?
Amaziah's story serves as a warning to remain faithful to God, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 25:27, and to trust in His sovereignty, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11, rather than relying on human strength or wisdom.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can remain faithful to God in the face of challenges and pressures, and how can I learn from Amaziah's mistakes?
- How can I apply the lesson of Amaziah's conspiracy to my own life, recognizing the dangers of turning away from God's plan and purposes?

Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 25:27
[See comments on 2 Chronicles 25:20]
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:27
(27) Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the Lord.—This clause is added by the chronicler, not so much with the aim of assigning a date, as of asserting the real connection between Amaziah’s defection from Jehovah, and the calamities that overtook him. Virtually he calls attention to the fulfilment of the prophecy of 2 Chronicles 25:16.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:27
Verse 27. Made a conspiracy] He no doubt became very unpopular after having lost the battle with the Israelites; the consequence of which was the dismantling of Jerusalem, and the seizure of the royal treasures, with several other evils. It is likely that the last fifteen years of his reign were greatly embittered: so that, finding the royal city to be no place of safety, he endeavoured to secure himself at Lachish; but all in vain, for thither his murderers pursued him; and he who forsook the Lord was forsaken by every friend, perished in his gainsaying, and came to an untimely end.
