1. Amatsyahu was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim. And the name of his mother was Yehoaddan of Yerushalayim.
2. And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, but not with a perfect heart.
3. And it came to be, upon his strong control of the reign, that he slew his servants who had smitten his father the sovereign.
