  • 2 Kgs 14:5-9 : 5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father. 6 But the children of the murderers he did not kill, according to what is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 7 He killed ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt and took Selah by war, and called its name Joktheel to this day. 8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us meet face to face. 9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son as wife, and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trampled the thistle. 10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up; boast of this, and stay at home, for why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, you and Judah with you? 11 But Amaziah would not listen. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah met face to face at Bethshemesh, which belongs to Judah. 12 And Judah was defeated before Israel, and they fled every man to their tents. 13 And Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits. 14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. 15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 16 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place. 17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 19 Now they conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there. 20 And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. 21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king rested with his fathers.
