Verse 7 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Kings. Amaziah begins to reign in Judah and receives a relatively favorable evaluation, although he does not remove the high places. The text highlights his obedience to the law by executing those responsible for his father’s death without killing the children of the guilty. He then defeats Edom and captures Sela. This section presents a king who acts according to a specific legal standard and achieves military success. Yet the evaluation remains incomplete because the cultic reform does not reach every level. The narrator maintains religious faithfulness as the principal criterion for evaluating government.
