Start with the Factbook ... then follow every link, run every search etc. that it recommends.

What I would do is go to tools and open the Bible Browser. You can type browser in the search button at the top and it should show up. It will open in its own floating pane. Select the Bible you want to search in at the top and then in the find box in the sidebar, type Amaziah. The sidebar will then show a facet for Amaziah (son of Joash) or Recipient Amaziah (priest). Click on either one of those and all Bible passages that talk about or mention him will show up to the left. I will try to put a screen print below. Now as you select Amaziah, the options change, so you see below, I selected Amaziah (priest) so the sidebar now limits any options to just those that are available in the passages about Amaziah. You can find more information about the Bible Browser here:https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016187991-Bible-Browser

You can also do a Bible search using the search template for a person. I used the Amaziah (priest) option from the drop-down. Just click the blue search button and then run the search, and it will bring up every time Amaziah the priest is referred to. Ignore the search results underneath, I originally chose Amaziah son of Joash which was the wrong one. Personally, I like the Bible Browser better.

Hey... thanks. I pick and poke around in Logos a lot. Was just wondering how to improve my picking and poking.

I have tried various things. Thanks for your suggestions!!
