In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3099 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of Judah.H3063
2
He was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in Jerusalem.H3389 And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddanH3086 of Jerusalem.H3389
3
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 yetH7535 not like DavidH1732 his father:H1 he didH6213 according to allH3605 things as JoashH3101 his fatherH1 did.H6213
4
However, the highH1116 places were not takenH5493 away:H5493 as yetH5750 the peopleH5971 did sacrificeH2076 and burntH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 places.
5
And it cameH1961 to pass, as soonH834 as the kingdomH4467 was confirmedH2388 in his hand,H3027 that he slewH5221 his servantsH5650 which had slainH5221 the kingH4428 his father.H1
6
But the childrenH1121 of the murderersH5221 he slewH4191 not: according to that which is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of Moses,H4872 whereinH834 the LORDH3068 commanded,H6680 saying,H559 The fathersH1 shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the children,H1121 norH3808 the childrenH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathers;H1 but every manH376 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 for his own sin.H2399
7
He slewH5221 of EdomH123 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417 tenH6235 thousand,H505 and tookH8610 SelahH5554 by war,H4421 and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JoktheelH3371 to thisH2088 day.H3117
8
ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to Jehoash,H3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of Jehu,H3058 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559 Come,H3212 let us lookH7200 one another in the face.H6440
9
And JehoashH3060 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 saying,H559 The thistleH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in Lebanon,H3844 saying,H559 GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wife:H802 and there passedH5674 by a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in Lebanon,H3844 and steppedH7429 down the thistle.H2336
10
You have indeed smittenH5221 Edom,H123 and your heartH3820 has liftedH5375 you up: gloryH3513 of this, and tarryH3427 at home:H1004 for whyH4100 should you meddleH1624 to your hurt,H7451 that you should fall,H5307 even you, and JudahH3063 with you?
11
But AmaziahH558 would not hear.H8085 Therefore JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 lookedH7200 one another in the faceH6440 at Bethshemesh,H1053 whichH834 belongs to Judah.H3063
12
And JudahH3063 was put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 Israel;H3478 and they fledH5127 every manH376 to their tents.H168
13
And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of Ahaziah,H274 at Bethshemesh,H1053 and cameH935 to Jerusalem,H3389 and brokeH6555 down the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the cornerH6438 gate,H8179 fourH702 hundredH3967 cubits.H520
14
And he tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silver,H3701 and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 house,H1004 and hostages,H1121 H8594 and returnedH7725 to Samaria.H8111
15
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoashH3060 whichH834 he did,H6213 and his might,H1369 and howH834 he foughtH3898 with AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
16
And JehoashH3060 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of Israel;H3478 and JeroboamH3379 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
17
And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568 H6240 years.H8141
18
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Amaziah,H558 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063
19
Now they made a conspiracyH7195 againstH5921 him in Jerusalem:H3389 and he fledH5127 to Lachish;H3923 but they sentH7971 afterH310 him to Lachish,H3923 and slewH4191 him there.H8033
20
And they broughtH5375 him onH5921 horses:H5483 and he was buriedH6912 at JerusalemH3389 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of David.H1732
21
And allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 Azariah,H5838 whichH1931 was sixteenH8337 H6240 yearsH8141 old,H1121 and made him kingH4427 insteadH8478 of his fatherH1 Amaziah.H558
22
He builtH1129 Elath,H359 and restoredH7725 it to Judah,H3063 afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathers.H1
23
In the fifteenthH2568 H6240 yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in Samaria,H8111 and reigned fortyH705 and oneH259 years.H8141
24
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD:H3068 he departedH5493 not from allH3605 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 whoH834 made IsraelH3478 to sin.H2398
25
He restoredH7725 the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 of HamathH2574 to the seaH3220 of the plain,H6160 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 whichH834 he spokeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 Jonah,H3124 the sonH1121 of Amittai,H573 the prophet,H5030 whichH834 was of Gathhepher.H1662
26
For the LORDH3068 sawH7200 the afflictionH6040 of Israel,H3478 that it was veryH3966 bitter:H4784 for there was not any shutH6113 up, norH369 any left,H5800 norH369 any helperH5826 for Israel.H3478
27
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 not that he would blotH4229 out the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 from underH8478 heaven:H8064 but he savedH3467 them by the handH3027 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Joash.H3101
28
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Jeroboam,H3379 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 and his might,H1369 howH834 he warred,H3898 and howH834 he recoveredH7725 Damascus,H1834 and Hamath,H2574 which belonged to Judah,H3063 for Israel,H3478 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
29
And JeroboamH3379 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 even with the kingsH4428 of Israel;H3478 and ZachariahH2148 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
