15 And the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah the king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel? 16 And Jehoash lay with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place. 17 And Amaziah the son of Joash the king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz the king of Israel. 18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah? 19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; and they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. 20 And they lifted him up on the horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. 21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah (and he was a son of sixteen years), and they made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Elath: Elath, the Ala or Elana of the Greek and Roman writers, was a celebrated port situated at the extremity of the eastern branch of the Red Sea, hence called the Elanitic Gulf, ten miles east from Petra, according to Eusebius, and 150; Roman miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260 stadia, or 157 miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota. It is now called Akaba, and is nothing but a tower or castle, surrounded by a large grove of date trees, the residence of a governor, dependent on him of Grand Cairo. 2 Kings 16:6, Deuteronomy 2:8, 1 Kings 9:26, 2 Chronicles 26:2, Eloth
Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 8:17 - Eloth

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He built Elath,.... A port which belonged to Edom, Deuteronomy 2:8 which very probably David took from them when he made them tributary, and which they retook when they revolted, and Amaziah got again when he defeated them; and this his son rebuilt and fortified:
and restored it to Judah; annexed it to the kingdom of Judah, as in the days of David and Solomon:
after that the king slept with his fathers; after the death of his father Amaziah.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Elath, or Eloth (marginal reference 1 Kings 9:26), was near Ezion-Geber, in the Gulf of Akabah. It had been lost to the Jews on the revolt of Edom from Joram 2 Kings 8:22. Uzziah’s re-establishment of the place, rendered possible by his father’s successes 2 Kings 14:7, was one of his first acts, and seems to imply a desire to renew the commercial projects which Solomon had successfully carried out, and which Jehoshaphat had vainly attempted 1 Kings 22:48.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 14:22. He built Elath — This city belonged to the Edomites; and was situated on the eastern branch of the Red Sea, thence called the Elanitic Gulf. It had probably suffered much in the late war; and was now rebuilt by Uzziah, and brought entirely under the dominion of Judah.
