1
In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of
Israel
reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of
Judah
.
2
He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in
Jerusalem
. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of
Jerusalem
.
3
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like
David
his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
4
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
5
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
6
But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of
Moses
, wherein 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 slew of
Edom
in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
8
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of
Israel
, saying, Come, let us look one another in the 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 thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
10
Thou hast indeed smitten
Edom
, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and
Judah
with thee?
11
But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of
Israel
went up; and he and Amaziah king of
Judah
looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to
Judah
.
12
And
Judah
was put to the worse before
Israel
; and they fled every man to their tents.
13
And Jehoash king of
Israel
took Amaziah king of
Judah
, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to
Jerusalem
, and brake down the wall of
Jerusalem
from the gate of
Ephraim
unto 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in
Samaria
with the kings of
Israel
; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of
Judah
lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of
Israel
fifteen years.
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 made a conspiracy against him in
Jerusalem
: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22
He built Elath, and restored it to
Judah
, after that the king slept with his fathers.
23
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of
Judah
Jeroboam the son of Joash king of
Israel
began to reign in
Samaria
, and reigned forty and one years.
24
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel
to sin.
25
He restored the coast of
Israel
from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of
Israel
, which he spake by the hand of his servant
Jonah
, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.
26
For the LORD saw the affliction of
Israel
, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for
Israel
.
27
And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of
Israel
from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered
Damascus
, and Hamath, which belonged to
Judah
, for
Israel
, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel
?
29
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of
Israel
; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.
