Amaziah’s Reign Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jehoaddan, who was from Jerusalem.
He did what the LORD approved, but not with wholehearted devotion.
When he had secured control of the kingdom, he executed the servants who had assassinated his father the king.
However, he did not execute their sons. He obeyed the LORD’s commandment as recorded in the law scroll of Moses,“Fathers must not be executed for what their sons do, and sons must not be executed for what their fathers do. A man must be executed only for his own sin.”
Amaziah assembled the people of Judah and assigned them by families to the commanders of units of a thousand and the commanders of units of a hundred for all Judah and Benjamin. He counted those twenty years old and up and discovered there were 300,000 young men of fighting age equipped with spears and shields.
He hired 100,000 Israelite warriors for a hundred talents of silver.
