1 In the second H8147 year H8141 of Joash H3101 son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 king H4428 of Israel H3478 reigned H4427 Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah. H3063
2 He was H1961 twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and reigned H4427 twenty H6242 and nine H8672 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Jehoaddan H3086 of H4480 Jerusalem. H3389
3 And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 yet H7535 not H3808 like David H1732 his father: H1 he did H6213 according to all things H3605 as H834 Joash H3101 his father H1 did. H6213
4 Howbeit H7535 the high places H1116 were not H3808 taken away: H5493 as yet H5750 the people H5971 did sacrifice H2076 and burnt incense H6999 on the high places. H1116
5 And it came to pass, H1961 as soon as H834 the kingdom H4467 was confirmed H2388 in his hand, H3027 that he slew H5221 H853 his servants H5650 which had slain H5221 H853 the king H4428 his father. H1
6 But the children H1121 of the murderers H5221 he slew H4191 not: H3808 according unto that which is written H3789 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of Moses, H4872 wherein H834 the LORD H3068 commanded, H6680 saying, H559 The fathers H1 shall not H3808 be put to death H4191 for H5921 the children, H1121 nor H3808 the children H1121 be put to death H4191 for H5921 the fathers; H1 but H3588 H518 every man H376 shall be put to death H4191 for his own sin. H2399
7 He H1931 slew H5221 H853 of H853 Edom H123 in the valley H1516 of salt H4417 ten H6235 thousand, H505 and took H8610 H853 Selah H5554 by war, H4421 and called H7121 H853 the name H8034 of it Joktheel H3371 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117
8 Then H227 Amaziah H558 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to H413 Jehoash, H3060 the son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 son H1121 of Jehu, H3058 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Come, H1980 let us look one another H7200 in the face. H6440
9 And Jehoash H3060 the 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
10 Thou hast indeed smitten H5221 H5221 H853 Edom, H123 and thine heart H3820 hath lifted thee up: H5375 glory H3513 of this , and tarry H3427 at home: H1004 for why H4100 shouldest thou meddle H1624 to thy hurt, H7451 that thou shouldest fall, H5307 even thou, H859 and Judah H3063 with H5973 thee?
11 But Amaziah H558 would not H3808 hear. H8085 Therefore Jehoash H3060 king H4428 of Israel H3478 went up; H5927 and he H1931 and Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah H3063 looked one another H7200 in the face H6440 at Beth- H1053 shemesh, which H834 belongeth to Judah. H3063
12 And Judah H3063 was put to the worse H5062 before H6440 Israel; H3478 and they fled H5127 every man H376 to their tents. H168
13 And Jehoash H3060 king H4428 of Israel H3478 took H8610 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 the son H1121 of Jehoash H3060 the son H1121 of Ahaziah, H274 at Beth- H1053 shemesh , and came H935 to Jerusalem, H3389 and broke down H6555 the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 from the gate H8179 of Ephraim H669 unto H5704 the corner H6438 gate, H8179 four H702 hundred H3967 cubits. H520
14 And he took H3947 H853 all H3605 the gold H2091 and silver, H3701 and all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were found H4672 in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and in the treasures H214 of the king's H4428 house, H1004 and hostages H1121 H8594 , and returned H7725 to Samaria. H8111
15 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jehoash H3060 which H834 he did, H6213 and his might, H1369 and how H834 he fought H3898 with H5973 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 ?
16 And Jehoash H3060 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 in Samaria H8111 with H5973 the kings H4428 of Israel; H3478 and Jeroboam H3379 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
17 And Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah H3063 lived H2421 after H310 the death H4194 of Jehoash H3060 son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 king H4428 of Israel H3478 fifteen H2568 H6240 years. H8141
18 And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Amaziah, H558 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ?
19 Now they made H7194 a conspiracy H7195 against H5921 him in Jerusalem: H3389 and he fled H5127 to Lachish; H3923 but they sent H7971 after H310 him to Lachish, H3923 and slew H4191 him there. H8033
20 And they brought H5375 him on H5921 horses: H5483 and he was buried H6912 at Jerusalem H3389 with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David. H1732
21 And all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 took H3947 H853 Azariah, H5838 which H1931 was sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 old, H1121 and made him king H4427 H853 instead of H8478 his father H1 Amaziah. H558
22 He H1931 built H1129 H853 Elath, H359 and restored H7725 it to Judah, H3063 after that H310 the king H4428 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers. H1
23 In the fifteenth H2568 H6240 year H8141 of Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah H3063 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Israel H3478 began to reign H4427 in Samaria, H8111 and reigned forty H705 and one H259 years. H8141
24 And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD: H3068 he departed H5493 not H3808 from all H4480 H3605 the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who H834 made H853 Israel H3478 to sin. H2398
25 He H1931 restored H7725 H853 the coast H1366 of Israel H3478 from the entering H4480 H935 of Hamath H2574 unto H5704 the sea H3220 of the plain, H6160 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 which H834 he spoke H1696 by the hand H3027 of his servant H5650 Jonah, H3124 the son H1121 of Amittai, H573 the prophet, H5030 which H834 was of Gath H4480 H1662 -hepher.
26 For H3588 the LORD H3068 saw H7200 H853 the affliction H6040 of Israel, H3478 that it was very H3966 bitter: H4784 for there was not any H657 shut up, H6113 nor any H657 left, H5800 nor H369 any helper H5826 for Israel. H3478
27 And the LORD H3068 said H1696 not H3808 that he would blot out H4229 H853 the name H8034 of Israel H3478 from under H4480 H8478 heaven: H8064 but he saved H3467 them by the hand H3027 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash. H3101
28 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jeroboam, H3379 and all H3605 that H834 he did, H6213 and his might, H1369 how H834 he warred, H3898 and how H834 he recovered H7725 H853 Damascus, H1834 and Hamath, H2574 which belonged to Judah, H3063 for Israel, H3478 are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 ?
29 And Jeroboam H3379 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 even with H5973 the kings H4428 of Israel; H3478 and Zachariah H2148 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
