1 # In the second <08147> year <08141> of Joash <03101> son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03099> king <04428> of Israel <03478> reigned <04427> (8804) Amaziah <0558> the son <01121> of Joash <03101> king <04428> of Judah <03063>.
2 He was twenty <06242> and five <02568> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800) , and reigned <04427> (8804) twenty <06242> and nine <08672> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Jehoaddan <03086> of Jerusalem <03389>.
3 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, yet <07535> not like David <01732> his father <01>: he did <06213> (8804) according to all things as Joash <03101> his father <01> did <06213> (8804).
4 Howbeit the high places <01116> were not taken away <05493> (8804): as yet <05750> the people <05971> did sacrifice <02076> (8764) and burnt incense <06999> (8764) on the high places <01116>.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom <04467> was confirmed <02388> (8804) in his hand <03027>, that he slew <05221> (8686) his servants <05650> which had slain <05221> (8688) the king <04428> his father <01>.
6 But the children <01121> of the murderers <05221> (8688) he slew <04191> (8689) not: according unto that which is written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, wherein the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765), saying <0559> (8800), The fathers <01> shall not be put to death <04191> (8714) for the children <01121> , nor the children <01121> be put to death <04191> (8714) for the fathers <01>; but every man <0376> shall be put to death <04191> (8799) for his own sin <02399>.
7 He slew <05221> (8689) of Edom <0123> in the valley <01516> of salt <04417> ten <06235> thousand <0505>, and took <08610> (8804) Selah <05554> by war <04421>, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of it Joktheel <03371> unto this day <03117>.
8 # Then Amaziah <0558> sent <07971> (8804) messengers <04397> to Jehoash <03060>, the son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059> son <01121> of Jehu <03058>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), Come <03212> (8798), let us look <07200> (8691) one another in the face <06440>.
9 And Jehoash <03060> the king <04428> of Israel <03478> sent <07971> (8799) to Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800), The thistle <02336> that was in Lebanon <03844> sent <07971> (8804) to the cedar <0730> that was in Lebanon <03844>, saying <0559> (8800), Give <05414> (8798) thy daughter <01323> to my son <01121> to wife <0802>: and there passed <05674> (8799) by a wild <07704> beast <02416> that was in Lebanon <03844>, and trode down <07429> (8799) the thistle <02336>.
10 Thou hast indeed <05221> (8687) smitten <05221> (8689) Edom <0123>, and thine heart <03820> hath lifted thee up <05375> (8804): glory <03513> (8734) of this, and tarry <03427> (8798) at home <01004>: for why shouldest thou meddle <01624> (8691) to thy hurt <07451>, that thou shouldest fall <05307> (8804), even thou, and Judah <03063> with thee?
11 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <08085> (8804). Therefore Jehoash <03060> king <04428> of Israel <03478> went up <05927> (8799); and he and Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063> looked <07200> (8691) one another in the face <06440> at Bethshemesh <01053>, which belongeth to Judah <03063>.
12 And Judah <03063> was put to the worse <05062> (8735) before <06440> Israel <03478>; and they fled <05127> (8799) every man <0376> to their tents <0168>.
13 And Jehoash <03060> king <04428> of Israel <03478> took <08610> (8804) Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, the son <01121> of Jehoash <03060> the son <01121> of Ahaziah <0274>, at Bethshemesh <01053>, and came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, and brake down <06555> (8799) the wall <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> from the gate <08179> of Ephraim <0669> unto the corner <06438> gate <08179>, four <0702> hundred <03967> cubits <0520> .
14 And he took <03947> (8804) all the gold <02091> and silver <03701>, and all the vessels <03627> that were found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <04428> house <01004> , and hostages <01121> <08594>, and returned <07725> (8799) to Samaria <08111>.
15 # Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jehoash <03060> which he did <06213> (8804), and his might <01369>, and how he fought <03898> (8738) with Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>?
16 And Jehoash <03060> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) in Samaria <08111> with the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>; and Jeroboam <03379> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
17 And Amaziah <0558> the son <01121> of Joash <03101> king <04428> of Judah <03063> lived <02421> (8799) after <0310> the death <04194> of Jehoash <03060> son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059> king <04428> of Israel <03478> fifteen <02568> <06240> years <08141>.
18 And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Amaziah <0558>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>?
19 Now they made <07194> (8799) a conspiracy <07195> against him in Jerusalem <03389>: and he fled <05127> (8799) to Lachish <03923>; but they sent <07971> (8799) after <0310> him to Lachish <03923>, and slew <04191> (8686) him there.
20 And they brought <05375> (8799) him on horses <05483>: and he was buried <06912> (8735) at Jerusalem <03389> with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>.
21 And all the people <05971> of Judah <03063> took <03947> (8799) Azariah <05838>, which was sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> old <01121>, and made him king <04427> (8686) instead of his father <01> Amaziah <0558>.
22 He built <01129> (8804) Elath <0359>, and restored <07725> (8686) it to Judah <03063>, after <0310> that the king <04428> slept <07901> (8800) with his fathers <01>.
23 # In the fifteenth <02568> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Amaziah <0558> the son <01121> of Joash <03101> king <04428> of Judah <03063> Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Joash <03101> king <04428> of Israel <03478> began to reign <04427> (8804) in Samaria <08111>, and reigned forty <0705> and one <0259> years <08141> .
24 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>: he departed <05493> (8804) not from all the sins <02403> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>, who made Israel <03478> to sin <02398> (8689).
25 He restored <07725> (8689) the coast <01366> of Israel <03478> from the entering <0935> (8800) of Hamath <02574> unto the sea <03220> of the plain <06160>, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by the hand <03027> of his servant <05650> Jonah <03124>, the son <01121> of Amittai <0573>, the prophet <05030>, which was of Gathhepher <01662>.
26 For the LORD <03068> saw <07200> (8804) the affliction <06040> of Israel <03478>, that it was very <03966> bitter <04784> (8802): for there was not <0657> any shut up <06113> (8803), nor any left <05800> (8803), nor any helper <05826> (8802) for Israel <03478>.
27 And the LORD <03068> said <01696> (8765) not that he would blot out <04229> (8800) the name <08034> of Israel <03478> from under heaven <08064>: but he saved <03467> (8686) them by the hand <03027> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Joash <03101>.
28 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jeroboam <03379>, and all that he did <06213> (8804), and his might <01369>, how he warred <03898> (8738), and how he recovered <07725> (8689) Damascus <01834>, and Hamath <02574> , which belonged to Judah <03063>, for Israel <03478>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>?
29 And Jeroboam <03379> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, even with the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>; and Zachariah <02148> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
