Quick answer
Amaziah's body was brought back and buried with his fathers in the City of Judah. His reign ended in assassination, though he received burial among his ancestors.
Overview
Despite his violent end, Amaziah was interred with the Davidic kings in Jerusalem. The closing of his reign completes a portrait of partial obedience undone by pride and idolatry. His son Uzziah would succeed him, continuing the Davidic line that leads ultimately to Christ.
