Matthew(i)
8 After that Amaziah sent messengers to Ioas the sonne of Iehoahaz sonne of Iehu king of Israel sayinge: come, let vs se eche other.
9 But Ioas kyng of Israel sente agayne to Amaziah kyng of Iuda, sayinge. A thistel in Libanon sent to a cypresse tree in Lybanon, sayinge: geue thy doughter to my sonne to wyfe. But the wylde beastes in Lybanon went and troade doune the thistel.
10 Because thou hast beaten the Edomytes, therfore thyne hert ryseth. Be gloryouse: but tarye at home. For what neadest thou to prouoke to myscheue, that thou shuldest be ouerthrowen and Iuda with the.
11 But Amaziah wolde not heare. And so Ioas kyng of Israel went vp, and he and Amaziah kynge of Iuda sawe eyther other at Bethsames in Iuda.
12 And Iuda was put to the worse before Israel, & they fled euerye man to hys tent.
13 And Ioas kyng of Israel toke Amaziah kynge of Iuda. sonne of Iehoas, sonne of Ohoziah, at Bethsames. And then he went to Ierusalem, and brake doune of the walle of Ierusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, foure hundred cubytes.
14 And he toke all the goulde and siluer & al the vesseles that were founde in the house of the Lorde, & in the treasure of the kynges house, and hostages thereto: and then returned to Samaria agayne.
15 The rest of the actes of Ioas which he did and hys powre, & how he fought with Amasiah kyng of Iuda, are writen in the chronicles of the kynges of Israel:
16 & Ioas layde hym to rest wyth hys fathers, and was buryed at Samaria among the kynges of Israel: & Ieroboam hys sonne raigned in hys roume.
