1 In the seconde yeare of Ioas ye sonne of Ioahas kynge of Israel, was Amasias the sonne of Ioas kynge of Iuda made kynge:
2 fyue and twenty yeare olde was he, whan he was made kynge, & reigned nyne and twentye yeare at Ierusale. His mothers name was Ioadan of Ierusalem.
3 And he dyd that which was righte in the sighte of the LORDE: yet not as his father Dauid, but euen as his father Ioas did so dyd he also:
4 for ye hye places were not put downe, but the people offred and brent incese yet vpon the hye places.
5 Now whan he had gotten the power of the kyngdome, he smote his seruauntes which had smytte the kynge his father:
6 but the children of ye deedslayers slewe he not, acordinge to yt which is wrytte in the boke of the lawe of Moses, where the LORDE hath comaunded & sayde: The fathers shal not dye for the children, & the children shal not dye for the fathers: but euery one shal dye for his awne synne.
