Surrounding context — 2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah [was] twenty and five years old [when] he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
