H8147
In the second
H8141
year
H3101
of Joash
H1121
son
H3099
of Jehoahaz
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H4427 [H8804]
reigned
H558
Amaziah
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah.
2
H6242
He was twenty
H2568
and five
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H6242
twenty
H8672
and nine
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem.
H517
And his mother's
H8034
name
H3086
was Jehoaddan
H3389
of Jerusalem.
3
H6213 [H8799]
And he did
H3477
that which was right
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD,
H7535
yet
H1732
not like David
H1
his father:
H6213 [H8804]
he did
H3101
according to all things as Joash
H1
his father
H6213 [H8804]
did.
4
H1116
But the high places
H5493 [H8804]
were not taken away:
H5750
as yet
H5971
the people
H2076 [H8764]
sacrificed
H6999 [H8764]
and burnt incense
H1116
on the high places.
5
H4467
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
H2388 [H8804]
was confirmed
H3027
in his hand,
H5221 [H8686]
that he slew
H5650
his servants
H5221 [H8688]
who had slain
H4428
the king
H1
his father.
6
H1121
But the sons
H5221 [H8688]
of the murderers
H4191 [H8689]
he slew
H3789 [H8803]
not: according to that which is written
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses,
H3068
in which the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
commanded,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1
The fathers
H4191 [H8714]
shall not be put to death
H1121
for the sons,
H1121
nor the sons
H4191 [H8714]
be put to death
H1
for the fathers;
H376
but every man
H4191 [H8799]
shall be put to death
H2399
for his own sin.
7
H5221 [H8689]
He slew
H123
of Edom
H1516
in the valley
H4417
of salt
H6235
ten
H505
thousand,
H8610 [H8804]
and took
H5554
Selah
H4421
by war,
H7121 [H8799]
and called
H8034
the name
H3371
of it Joktheel
H3117
to this day.
8
H558
Then Amaziah
H7971 [H8804]
sent
H4397
messengers
H3060
to Jehoash,
H1121
the son
H3059
of Jehoahaz
H1121
son
H3058
of Jehu,
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3212 [H8798]
Come,
H7200 [H8691]
let us look
H6440
one another in the face.
9
H3060
And Jehoash
H4428
the king
H3478
of Israel
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H558
to Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H2336
The thistle
H3844
that was in Lebanon
H7971 [H8804]
sent
H730
to the cedar
H3844
that was in Lebanon,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H5414 [H8798]
Give
H1323
thy daughter
H1121
to my son
H802
for a wife:
H5674 [H8799]
and there passed
H7704
by a wild
H2416
beast
H3844
that was in Lebanon,
H7429 [H8799]
and trod down
H2336
the thistle.
10
H5221 [H8687]
Thou hast indeed
H5221 [H8689]
smitten
H123
Edom,
H3820
and thine heart
H5375 [H8804]
hath lifted thee up:
H3513 [H8734]
glory
H3427 [H8798]
of this, and tarry
H1004
at home:
H1624 [H8691]
for why shouldest thou meddle
H7451
to thy harm,
H5307 [H8804]
that thou shouldest fall,
H3063
even thou, and Judah with thee?
11
H558
But Amaziah
H8085 [H8804]
would not hear.
H3060
Therefore Jehoash
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H5927 [H8799]
went up;
H558
and he and Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H7200 [H8691]
looked
H6440
one another in the face
H1053
at Bethshemesh,
H3063
which belongeth to Judah.
12
H3063
And Judah
H5062 [H8735]
was smitten
H6440
by
H3478
Israel;
H5127 [H8799]
and they fled
H376
every man
H168
to their tents.
13
H3060
And Jehoash
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H8610 [H8804]
took
H558
Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H1121
the son
H3060
of Jehoash
H1121
the son
H274
of Ahaziah,
H1053
at Bethshemesh,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H6555 [H8799]
and broke down
H2346
the wall
H3389
of Jerusalem
H8179
from the gate
H669
of Ephraim
H6438
to the corner
H8179
gate,
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H520
cubits.
14
H3947 [H8804]
And he took
H2091
all the gold
H3701
and silver,
H3627
and all the vessels
H4672 [H8737]
found
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H214
and in the treasuries
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house,
H1121 H8594
and hostages,
H7725 [H8799]
and returned
H8111
to Samaria.
15
H3499
Now the rest
H1697
of the acts
H3060
of Jehoash
H6213 [H8804]
which he did,
H1369
and his might,
H3898 [H8738]
and how he fought
H558
with Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H3789 [H8803]
are they not written
H5612
in the book
H1697 H3117
of the chronicles
H4428
of the kings
H3478
of Israel?
16
H3060
And Jehoash
H7901 [H8799]
slept
H1
with his fathers,
H6912 [H8735]
and was buried
H8111
in Samaria
H4428
with the kings
H3478
of Israel;
H3379
and Jeroboam
H1121
his son
H4427 [H8799]
reigned in his stead.
17
H558
And Amaziah
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H2421 [H8799]
lived
H310
after
H4194
the death
H3060
of Jehoash
H1121
son
H3059
of Jehoahaz
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H2568 H6240
fifteen
H8141
years.
18
H3499
And the rest
H1697
of the acts
H558
of Amaziah,
H3789 [H8803]
are they not written
H5612
in the book
H1697 H3117
of the chronicles
H4428
of the kings
H3063
of Judah?
19
H7194 [H8799]
Now they made
H7195
a conspiracy
H3389
against him in Jerusalem:
H5127 [H8799]
and he fled
H3923
to Lachish;
H7971 [H8799]
but they sent
H310
after
H3923
him to Lachish,
H4191 [H8686]
and slew him there.
20
H5375 [H8799]
And they brought
H5483
him on horses:
H6912 [H8735]
and he was buried
H3389
at Jerusalem
H1
with his fathers
H5892
in the city
H1732
of David.
21
H5971
And all the people
H3063
of Judah
H3947 [H8799]
took
H5838
Azariah,
H8337 H6240
who was sixteen
H8141
years
H1121
old,
H4427 [H8686]
and made him king
H1
instead of his father
H558
Amaziah.
22
H1129 [H8804]
He built
H359
Elath,
H7725 [H8686]
and restored
H3063
it to Judah,
H310
after
H4428
that the king
H7901 [H8800]
slept
H1
with his fathers.
23
H2568 H6240 H8141
In the fifteenth
H8141
year
H558
of Amaziah
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H3379
Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H4427 [H8804]
began to reign
H8111
in Samaria,
H705
and reigned forty
H259
and one
H8141
years.
24
H6213 [H8799]
And he did
H7451
that which was evil
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD:
H5493 [H8804]
he departed
H2403
not from all the sins
H3379
of Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H5028
of Nebat,
H3478
who made Israel
H2398 [H8689]
to sin.
25
H7725 [H8689]
He restored
H1366
the land
H3478
of Israel
H935 [H8800]
from the entering
H2574
of Hamath
H3220
to the sea
H6160
of the plain,
H1697
according to the word
H3068
of the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H1696 [H8765]
which he spoke
H3027
by the hand
H5650
of his servant
H3124
Jonah,
H1121
the son
H573
of Amittai,
H5030
the prophet,
H1662
who was of Gathhepher.
26
H3068
For the LORD
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H6040
the affliction
H3478
of Israel,
H3966
that it was very
H4784 [H8802]
bitter:
H657
for there was not
H6113 [H8803]
any shut up,
H5800 [H8803]
nor any left,
H5826 [H8802]
nor any helper
H3478
for Israel.
27
H3068
And the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
said
H4229 [H8800]
not that he would blot out
H8034
the name
H3478
of Israel
H8064
from under heaven:
H3467 [H8686]
but he liberated
H3027
them by the hand
H3379
of Jeroboam
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash.
28
H3499
Now the rest
H1697
of the acts
H3379
of Jeroboam,
H6213 [H8804]
and all that he did,
H1369
and his might,
H3898 [H8738]
how he warred,
H7725 [H8689]
and how he recovered
H1834
Damascus,
H2574
and Hamath,
H3063
which belonged to Judah,
H3478
for Israel,
H3789 [H8803]
are they not written
H5612
in the book
H1697 H3117
of the chronicles
H4428
of the kings
H3478
of Israel?
