THE MESSAGE
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king and reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem. He lived well before God , doing the right thing for the most part. But he wasn't wholeheartedly devoted to God. When he had the affairs of the kingdom well in hand, he executed the palace guard who had assassinated his father the king. But he didn't kill the sons of the assassins—he was mindful of what God commanded in The Revelation of Moses, that parents shouldn't be executed for their childrens' sins, nor children for their parents'. We each pay personally for our sins.

Contextual Overview
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem. 2 Amaziah did what was pleasing in the Lord 's sight, but not wholeheartedly. 3 When Amaziah was well established as king, he executed the officials who had assassinated his father. 4 However, he did not kill the children of the assassins, for he obeyed the command of the Lord as written by Moses in the Book of the Law: "Parents must not be put to death for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their parents. Those deserving to die must be put to death for their own crimes." 5 Then Amaziah organized the army, assigning generals and captains for all Judah and Benjamin. He took a census and found that he had an army of 300,000 select troops, twenty years old and older, all trained in the use of spear and shield. 6 He also paid about 7,500 pounds of silver to hire 100,000 experienced fighting men from Israel. 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "Your Majesty, do not hire troops from Israel, for the Lord is not with Israel. He will not help those people of Ephraim! 8 If you let them go with your troops into battle, you will be defeated by the enemy no matter how well you fight. God will overthrow you, for he has the power to help you or to trip you up." 9 Amaziah asked the man of God, "But what about all that silver I paid to hire the army of Israel?" The man of God replied, "The Lord is able to give you much more than this!" 10 So Amaziah discharged the hired troops and sent them back to Ephraim. This made them very angry with Judah, and they returned home in a great rage.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This chapter is evidently taken to a large extent from the same document as Kings (see the marginal reference and the notes). At the same time it contains large and important additions; e. g. 2 Chronicles 25:5-10, 2 Chronicles 25:13-16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXV
Amaziah succeeds his father Joash, and begins his reign well,
1, 2.
He slays his father's murderers but spares their children, 3, 4.
He reviews and remodels the army, 5;
and hires a hundred thousand soldiers out of Israel, whom, on
the expostulation of a prophet, he sends home again, without
bringing them into active service; at which they are greatly
offended, 6-10.
He attacks the Syrians, kills ten thousand, and takes ten
thousand prisoners, whom he precipitates from the top of a
rock, so that they are dashed to pieces, 11, 12.
The Israelitish soldiers, sent back, ravage several of the
cities of Judah, 13.
Amaziah becomes an idolater, 14.
Is reproved by a prophet, whom he threatens, and obliges to
desist, 15, 16.
He challenges Joash, king of Israel, 17;
who reproves him by a parable, 18, 19.
Not desisting, the armies meet, the Jews are overthrown, and
Amaziah taken prisoner by Joash, who ravages the temple, and
takes away all the treasures of the king, 20-24.
The reign of Amaziah: a conspiracy is formed against him; he
flees to Lachish, whither he is pursued and slain; is brought
to Jerusalem, and buried with his fathers, 25-28.
