In the second{H8147} year{H8141} of Joash{H3101} son{H1121} of Joahaz{H3099} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} began Amaziah{H558} the son{H1121} of Joash{H3101} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} to reign.{H4427}

He 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 Jehoaddin{H3086} of Jerusalem.{H3389}

And he did{H6213} that which was right{H3477} in the eyes{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} yet{H7535} not like David{H1732} his father:{H1} he did{H6213} according to all that Joash{H3101} his father{H1} had done.{H6213}

Howbeit the high places{H1116} were not taken away:{H5493} the people{H5971} still{H5750} sacrificed{H2076} and burnt incense{H6999} in the high places.{H1116}

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom{H4467} was established{H2388} in his hand,{H3027} that he slew{H5221} his servants{H5650} who had slain{H5221} the king{H4428} his father:{H1}

but the children{H1121} of the murderers{H5221} he put not to death;{H4191} according to that which is written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the law{H8451} of Moses,{H4872} as Jehovah{H3068} commanded,{H6680} saying,{H559} The fathers{H1} shall not be put to death{H4191} for the children,{H1121} nor the children{H1121} be put to death{H4191} for the fathers;{H1} but every man{H376} shall die{H4191} for his own sin.{H2399}

He slew{H5221} of Edom{H123} in the Valley{H1516} of Salt{H4417} ten{H6235} thousand,{H505} and took{H8610} Sela{H5554} by war,{H4421} and called{H7121} the name{H8034} of it Joktheel,{H3371} unto this day.{H3117}

Then Amaziah{H558} sent{H7971} messengers{H4397} to Jehoash,{H3060} the son{H1121} of Jehoahaz{H3059} son{H1121} of Jehu,{H3058} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} saying,{H559} Come,{H3212} let us look{H7200} one another in the face.{H6440}

And Jehoash{H3060} the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} sent{H7971} to Amaziah{H558} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} saying,{H559} The thistle{H2336} that was in Lebanon{H3844} sent{H7971} to the cedar{H730} that was in Lebanon,{H3844} saying,{H559} Give{H5414} thy daughter{H1323} to my son{H1121} to wife:{H802} and there passed{H5674} by a wild{H7704} beast{H2416} that was in Lebanon,{H3844} and trod down{H7429} the thistle.{H2336}

Thou hast indeed{H5221} smitten{H5221} Edom,{H123} and thy heart{H3820} hath lifted thee up:{H5375} glory{H3513} thereof, and abide{H3427} at home;{H1004} for why shouldest thou meddle{H1624} to [thy] hurt,{H7451} that thou shouldest fall,{H5307} even thou, and Judah{H3063} with thee?

But Amaziah{H558} would not hear.{H8085} So Jehoash{H3060} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} went up;{H5927} and he and Amaziah{H558} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} looked{H7200} one another in the face{H6440} at Beth-shemesh,{H1053} which belongeth to Judah.{H3063}

And Judah{H3063} was put to the worse{H5062} before{H6440} Israel;{H3478} and they fled{H5127} every man{H376} to his tent.{H168}

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-shemesh,{H1053} and came{H935} to Jerusalem,{H3389} and brake down{H6555} the wall{H2346} of Jerusalem{H3389} from the gate{H8179} of Ephraim{H669} unto the corner{H6438} gate,{H8179} four{H702} hundred{H3967} cubits.{H520}

And he took{H3947} all the gold{H2091} and silver,{H3701} and all the vessels{H3627} that were found{H4672} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and in the treasures{H214} of the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} the hostages{H1121} also, and returned{H7725} to Samaria.{H8111}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Jehoash{H3060} which he did,{H6213} and his might,{H1369} and how he fought{H3898} with Amaziah{H558} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

And Jehoash{H3060} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} in Samaria{H8111} with the kings{H4428} of Israel;{H3478} and Jeroboam{H3379} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

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} years.{H8141}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Amaziah,{H558} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

And they made{H7194} a conspiracy{H7195} against 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.

And they brought{H5375} him upon horses;{H5483} and he was buried{H6912} at Jerusalem{H3389} with his fathers{H1} in the city{H5892} of David.{H1732}

And all the people{H5971} of Judah{H3063} took{H3947} Azariah,{H5838} who was sixteen{H8337} years{H8141} old,{H1121} and made him king{H4427} in the room of his father{H1} Amaziah.{H558}

He built{H1129} Elath,{H359} and restored{H7725} it to Judah,{H3063} after{H310} that the king{H4428} slept{H7901} with his fathers.{H1}

In the fifteenth{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}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah:{H3068} he departed{H5493} not from all the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}

He restored{H7725} the border{H1366} of Israel{H3478} from the entrance{H935} of Hamath{H2574} unto the sea{H3220} of the Arabah,{H6160} according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} which he spake{H1696} by{H3027} his servant{H5650} Jonah{H3124} the son{H1121} of Amittai,{H573} the prophet,{H5030} who was of Gath-hepher.{H1662}

For Jehovah{H3068} saw{H7200} the affliction{H6040} of Israel,{H3478} that it was very{H3966} bitter;{H4784} for there was none{H657} shut up{H6113} nor left{H5800} at large, neither was there any helper{H5826} for Israel.{H3478}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H1696} not that he would blot out{H4229} the name{H8034} of Israel{H3478} from under heaven;{H8064} but he saved{H3467} them by the hand{H3027} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Joash.{H3101}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Jeroboam,{H3379} and all that he did,{H6213} and his might,{H1369} how he warred,{H3898} and how he recovered{H7725} Damascus,{H1834} and Hamath,{H2574} [which had belonged] to Judah,{H3063} for Israel,{H3478} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

And Jeroboam{H3379} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} even with the kings{H4428} of Israel;{H3478} and Zechariah{H2148} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
