From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD
on 2 Chronicles 25:27-28
The conspiracy, the flight to Lachish and the killing there follow 2 Kings 14:19-20. Chronicles frames the death with its own hinge, “From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD,” and names that turn as the reason. His body is carried home “on horses”.

carried him back on horses
Barnes places this death at least fifteen years after the apostasy and still reads it as the sentence of verse 16 carried out. Kings gives the burial place as the City of David, and Chronicles as the City of Judah. Both name Jerusalem.

And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the L ORD , but not with a perfect heart. 3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
