How preachers through history handled this text
6 public-domain excerpts on 2 Kings 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Amaziah survived his conqueror fifteen years. He was slain by his own subjects. Azariah, or Uzziah, seems to have been very young when his father was slain. Though the years of his reign are reckoned from that event, he was not fully made king till eleven years afterwards.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Kings 14:15–22 (Public Domain)
