The moshav was founded in 1955, on the ruins of the Palestinian town al-Dawayima.[1] It was named for King Amaziah of Judah, who, according to the Book of Kings, was killed in the Lakhish region.[2] In the past the community was a moshav shitufi but it has undergone a process of privatization and abandoned its collective nature.
