2 Chronicles 25:9 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not with a blameless heart.
3 And as soon as the royal power was firmly in his hand he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.
4 But he did not put their children to death, according to what is written in the law, in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, or the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."
5 Then Amaziah assembled the men of Judah, and set them by fathers' houses under commanders of thousands and of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He mustered those twenty years old and upward, and found that they were three hundred thousand picked men, fit for war, able to handle spear and shield.
6 He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all these Ephraimites.
8 But if you suppose that in this way you will be strong for war, God will cast you down before the enemy; for God has power to help or to cast down."
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?" The man of God answered, "The LORD is able to give you much more than this."
10 Then Amaziah discharged the army that had come to him from Ephraim, to go home again. And they became very angry with Judah, and returned home in fierce anger.
11 But Amaziah took courage, and led out his people, and went to the Valley of Salt and smote ten thousand men of Seir.
12 The men of Judah captured another ten thousand alive, and took them to the top of a rock and threw them down from the top of the rock; and they were all dashed to pieces.
13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, not letting them go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Bethhoron, and killed three thousand people in them, and took much spoil.
14 After Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the men of Seir, and set them up as his gods, and worshiped them, making offerings to them.
15 Therefore the LORD was angry with Amaziah and sent to him a prophet, who said to him, "Why have you resorted to the gods of a people, which did not deliver their own people from your hand?"
16 But as he was speaking the king said to him, "Have we made you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be put to death?" So the prophet stopped, but said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel."
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."
18 And Joash the king of Israel sent word to Amaziah king of Judah, "A thistle on Lebanon sent to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, `Give your daughter to my son for a wife'; and a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
19 You say, `See, I have smitten Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up in boastfulness. But now stay at home; why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?"
20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, in order that he might give them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another in battle at Bethshemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his home.
23 And Joash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem for four hundred cubits, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate.
24 And he seized all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God, and Obededom with them; he seized also the treasuries of the king's house, and hostages, and he returned to Samaria.
25 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
26 Now the rest of the deeds of Amaziah, from first to last, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
27 From the time when he turned away from the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
28 And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried with his fathers in the city of David.
1 Amaziah H558 was twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 twenty H6242 and nine H8672 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Jehoaddan H3086 of Jerusalem H4480 H3389 .
2 And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 but H7535 not H3808 with a perfect H8003 heart. H3824
3 Now it came to pass, H1961 when H834 the kingdom H4467 was established H2388 to H5921 him , that he slew H2026 H853 his servants H5650 that had killed H5221 H853 the king H4428 his father. H1
4 But he slew H4191 not H3808 their children, H1121 but H3588 did as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 in the book H5612 of Moses, H4872 where H834 the LORD H3068 commanded, H6680 saying, H559 The fathers H1 shall not H3808 die H4191 for H5921 the children, H1121 neither H3808 shall the children H1121 die H4191 for H5921 the fathers, H1 but H3588 every man H376 shall die H4191 for his own sin. H2399
5 Moreover Amaziah H558 gathered Judah together H6908 H853 H3063 , and made H5975 them captains H8269 over thousands, H505 and captains H8269 over hundreds, H3967 according to the houses H1004 of their fathers, H1 throughout all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin: H1144 and he numbered H6485 them from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and above, H4605 and found H4672 them three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand H505 choice H977 men, able to go forth H3318 to war, H6635 that could handle H270 spear H7420 and shield. H6793
6 He hired H7936 also a hundred H3967 thousand H505 mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 out of Israel H4480 H3478 for a hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver. H3701
7 But there came H935 a man H376 of God H430 to H413 him, saying, H559 O king, H4428 let not H408 the army H6635 of Israel H3478 go H935 with H5973 thee; for H3588 the LORD H3068 is not H369 with H5973 Israel, H3478 to wit, with all H3605 the children H1121 of Ephraim. H669
8 But H3588 if H518 thou H859 wilt go, H935 do H6213 it , be strong H2388 for the battle: H4421 God H430 shall make thee fall H3782 before H6440 the enemy: H341 for H3588 God H430 hath H3426 power H3581 to help, H5826 and to cast down. H3782
9 And Amaziah H558 said H559 to the man H376 of God, H430 But what H4100 shall we do H6213 for the hundred H3967 talents H3603 which H834 I have given H5414 to the army H1416 of Israel H3478 ? And the man H376 of God H430 answered, H559 The LORD H3068 is H3426 able to give H5414 thee much more H7235 than this H4480 H2088 .
10 Then Amaziah H558 separated H914 them, to wit , the army H1416 that H834 was come H935 to H413 him out of Ephraim H4480 H669 , to go H1980 home H4725 again : wherefore their anger H639 was greatly H3966 kindled H2734 against Judah, H3063 and they returned H7725 home H4725 in great H2750 anger. H639
11 And Amaziah H558 strengthened himself, H2388 and led forth H5090 H853 his people, H5971 and went H1980 to the valley H1516 of salt, H4417 and smote H5221 H853 of the children H1121 of Seir H8165 ten H6235 thousand. H505
12 And other ten H6235 thousand H505 left alive H2416 did the children H1121 of Judah H3063 carry away captive, H7617 and brought H935 them unto the top H7218 of the rock, H5553 and cast them down H7993 from the top H4480 H7218 of the rock, H5553 that they all H3605 were broken in pieces. H1234
13 But the soldiers H1121 of the army H1416 which H834 Amaziah H558 sent back, H7725 that they should not go H4480 H1980 with H5973 him to battle, H4421 fell upon H6584 the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 from Samaria H4480 H8111 even unto H5704 Beth- H1032 horon , and smote H5221 three H7969 thousand H505 of H4480 them , and took H962 much H7227 spoil. H961
14 Now it came to pass, H1961 after that H310 Amaziah H558 was come H935 from the slaughter H4480 H5221 H853 of the Edomites, H130 that he brought H935 H853 the gods H430 of the children H1121 of Seir, H8165 and set them up H5975 to be his gods, H430 and bowed down himself H7812 before H6440 them , and burned incense H6999 unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Amaziah, H558 and he sent H7971 unto H413 him a prophet, H5030 which said H559 unto him, Why H4100 hast thou sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of the people, H5971 which H834 could not H3808 deliver H5337 H853 their own people H5971 out of thine hand H4480 H3027 ?
16 And it came to pass, H1961 as he talked H1696 with H413 him , that the king said H559 unto him , Art thou made H5414 of the king's H4428 counsel H3289 ? forbear; H2308 why H4100 shouldest thou be smitten H5221 ? Then the prophet H5030 forbore, H2308 and said, H559 I know H3045 that H3588 God H430 hath determined H3289 to destroy H7843 thee, because H3588 thou hast done H6213 this, H2063 and hast not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto my counsel. H6098
17 Then Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah H3063 took advice, H3289 and sent H7971 to H413 Joash, H3101 the son H1121 of Jehoahaz, H3059 the son H1121 of Jehu, H3058 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Come, H1980 let us see one another H7200 in the face. H6440
18 And Joash H3101 king H4428 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 to H413 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559 The thistle H2336 that H834 was in Lebanon H3844 sent H7971 to H413 the cedar H730 that H834 was in Lebanon, H3844 saying, H559 Give H5414 H853 thy daughter H1323 to my son H1121 to wife: H802 and there passed by H5674 a wild H7704 beast H2416 that H834 was in Lebanon, H3844 and trod down H7429 H853 the thistle. H2336
19 Thou sayest, H559 Lo, H2009 thou hast smitten H5221 H853 the Edomites; H123 and thine heart H3820 lifteth thee up H5375 to boast: H3513 abide H3427 now H6258 at home; H1004 why H4100 shouldest thou meddle H1624 to thine hurt, H7451 that thou shouldest fall, H5307 even thou, H859 and Judah H3063 with H5973 thee?
20 But Amaziah H558 would not H3808 hear; H8085 for H3588 it H1931 came of God H4480 H430 , that H4616 he might deliver H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies , because H3588 they sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of Edom. H123
21 So Joash H3101 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 went up; H5927 and they saw one another H7200 in the face, H6440 both he H1931 and Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 at Beth- H1053 shemesh, which H834 belongeth to Judah. H3063
22 And Judah H3063 was put to the worse H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 and they fled H5127 every man H376 to his tent. H168
23 And Joash H3101 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 took H8610 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 the son H1121 of Joash, H3101 the son H1121 of Jehoahaz, H3059 at Beth- H1053 shemesh , and brought H935 him to Jerusalem, H3389 and broke down H6555 the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 from the gate H4480 H8179 of Ephraim H669 to H5704 the corner H6438 gate, H8179 four H702 hundred H3967 cubits. H520
24 And he took all H3605 the gold H2091 and the silver, H3701 and H853 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were found H4672 in the house H1004 of God H430 with H5973 Obed- H5654 edom , and the treasures H214 of the king's H4428 house, H1004 H853 the hostages H1121 H8594 also , and returned H7725 to Samaria. H8111
25 And Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah H3063 lived H2421 after H310 the death H4194 of Joash H3101 son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 king H4428 of Israel H3478 fifteen H2568 H6240 years. H8141
26 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Amaziah, H558 first H7223 and last, H314 behold, H2009 are they not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 ?
27 Now after the time H4480 H6256 that H834 Amaziah H558 did turn away H5493 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 they made H7194 a conspiracy H7195 against H5921 him in Jerusalem; H3389 and he fled H5127 to Lachish: H3923 but they sent H7971 to Lachish H3923 after H310 him , and slew H4191 him there. H8033
28 And they brought H5375 him upon H5921 horses, H5483 and buried H6912 him with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of Judah. H3063
