Raw Blame History

General Information:

This is what happened after the death of King Amaziah.

They brought him back on horses

"They brought Amaziah's body back on horses"

All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah

This is a generalization. Some people may not have wanted him to be king. AT: "The people of Judah took the 16 year-old Azariah and made him king after his father, Amaziah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)

It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath

Azariah did not do this alone. AT: "It was Azariah who ordered Elath to be rebuilt" or "It was Azariah who supervised the rebuilding of Elath" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

Azariah

This king is better known today by the name "Uzziah."

Elath

a city in Judah (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names)

restored it to Judah

"returned it to Judah"

slept with his ancestors

This is a poetic way to say he died. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism)
