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.

¹ In the second ^H8147 year ^H8141 of Joash ^H3101 son ^H1121 of Jehoahaz ^H3099 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 reigned ^H4427 Amaziah ^H558 the son ^H1121 of Joash ^H3101 king ^H4428 of Judah. ^H3063

³ And he did ^H6213 that which was right ^H3477 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 yet ^H7535 not like David ^H1732 his father: ^H1 he did ^H6213 according to all things as Joash ^H3101 his father ^H1 did. ^H6213

⁴ Howbeit the high places ^H1116 were not taken away: ^H5493 as yet ^H5750 the people ^H5971 did sacrifice ^H2076 and burnt incense ^H6999 on the high places. ^H1116

⁵ And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom ^H4467 was confirmed ^H2388 in his hand, ^H3027 that he slew ^H5221 his servants ^H5650 which had slain ^H5221 the king ^H4428 his father. ^H1

⁶ But the children ^H1121 of the murderers ^H5221 he slew ^H4191 not: according unto that which is written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the law ^H8451 of Moses, ^H4872 wherein the LORD ^H3068 commanded, ^H6680 saying, ^H559 The fathers ^H1 shall not be put to death ^H4191 for the children, ^H1121 nor the children ^H1121 be put to death ^H4191 for the fathers; ^H1 but every man ^H376 shall be put to death ^H4191 for his own sin. ^H2399

⁷ He slew ^H5221 of Edom ^H123 in the valley ^H1516 of salt ^H4417 ten ^H6235 thousand, ^H505 and took ^H8610 Selah ^H5554 by war, ^H4421 and called ^H7121 the name ^H8034 of it Joktheel ^H3371 unto this day. ^H3117

⁸ Then Amaziah ^H558 sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 to Jehoash, ^H3060 the son ^H1121 of Jehoahaz ^H3059 son ^H1121 of Jehu, ^H3058 king ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 saying, ^H559 Come, ^H3212 let us look ^H7200 one another in the face. ^H6440

⁹ And Jehoash ^H3060 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 sent ^H7971 to Amaziah ^H558 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 saying, ^H559 The thistle ^H2336 that was in Lebanon ^H3844 sent ^H7971 to the cedar ^H730 that was in Lebanon, ^H3844 saying, ^H559 Give ^H5414 thy daughter ^H1323 to my son ^H1121 to wife: ^H802 and there passed ^H5674 by a wild ^H7704 beast ^H2416 that was in Lebanon, ^H3844 and trode down ^H7429 the thistle. ^H2336

¹⁰ Thou hast indeed ^H5221 smitten ^H5221 Edom, ^H123 and thine heart ^H3820 hath lifted thee up: ^H5375 glory ^H3513 of this, and tarry ^H3427 at home: ^H1004 for why shouldest thou meddle ^H1624 to thy hurt, ^H7451 that thou shouldest fall, ^H5307 even thou, and Judah ^H3063 with thee?

¹¹ But Amaziah ^H558 would not hear. ^H8085 Therefore Jehoash ^H3060 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 went up; ^H5927 and he and Amaziah ^H558 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 looked ^H7200 one another in the face ^H6440 at Bethshemesh, ^H1053 which belongeth to Judah. ^H3063

¹² And Judah ^H3063 was put to the worse ^H5062 before ^H6440 Israel; ^H3478 and they fled ^H5127 every man ^H376 to their tents. ^H168

¹³ And Jehoash ^H3060 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 took ^H8610 Amaziah ^H558 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 the son ^H1121 of Jehoash ^H3060 the son ^H1121 of Ahaziah, ^H274 at Bethshemesh, ^H1053 and came ^H935 to Jerusalem, ^H3389 and brake down ^H6555 the wall ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 from the gate ^H8179 of Ephraim ^H669 unto the corner ^H6438 gate, ^H8179 four ^H702 hundred ^H3967 cubits. ^H520

¹⁴ And he took ^H3947 all the gold ^H2091 and silver, ^H3701 and all the vessels ^H3627 that were found ^H4672 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and in the treasures ^H214 of the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and hostages, ^{H1121 H8594} and returned ^H7725 to Samaria. ^H8111

¹⁵ Now the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Jehoash ^H3060 which he did, ^H6213 and his might, ^H1369 and how he fought ^H3898 with Amaziah ^H558 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 are they not written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the chronicles ^{H1697 H3117} of the kings ^H4428 of Israel? ^H3478

²⁴ And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD: ^H3068 he departed ^H5493 not from all the sins ^H2403 of Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat, ^H5028 who made Israel ^H3478 to sin. ^H2398

²⁵ He restored ^H7725 the coast ^H1366 of Israel ^H3478 from the entering ^H935 of Hamath ^H2574 unto the sea ^H3220 of the plain, ^H6160 according to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 which he spake ^H1696 by the hand ^H3027 of his servant ^H5650 Jonah, ^H3124 the son ^H1121 of Amittai, ^H573 the prophet, ^H5030 which was of Gathhepher. ^H1662

²⁶ For the LORD ^H3068 saw ^H7200 the affliction ^H6040 of Israel, ^H3478 that it was very ^H3966 bitter: ^H4784 for there was not ^H657 any shut up, ^H6113 nor any left, ^H5800 nor any helper ^H5826 for Israel. ^H3478

²⁷ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H1696 not that he would blot out ^H4229 the name ^H8034 of Israel ^H3478 from under heaven: ^H8064 but he saved ^H3467 them by the hand ^H3027 of Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Joash. ^H3101

²⁸ Now the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Jeroboam, ^H3379 and all that he did, ^H6213 and his might, ^H1369 how he warred, ^H3898 and how he recovered ^H7725 Damascus, ^H1834 and Hamath, ^H2574 which belonged to Judah, ^H3063 for Israel, ^H3478 are they not written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the chronicles ^{H1697 H3117} of the kings ^H4428 of Israel? ^H3478

³ And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

⁴ Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁵ And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father:

⁶ but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah 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 die for his own sin.

⁷ He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela 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 trod down the thistle.

¹⁰ Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide 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. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

²⁵ He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spake by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

²⁶ For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

²⁷ And Jehovah 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 had belonged' to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁰ Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'

¹¹ And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that `is' Judah's,

¹¹ But Amaziah would not hear. And Jehoash king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

²⁹ And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.

¹ In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

² He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

³ He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

⁴ However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁵ It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:

⁶ but the children of the murderers he didn't put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh 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 die for his own sin.

⁷ He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it 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 look one another in the face.

⁹ 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 animal that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.

¹⁰ You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: glory of it, and abide at home; for why should you meddle to [your] hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?

¹¹ But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

¹² Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

¹³ Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

¹⁴ He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, 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, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁶ Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

¹⁷ Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹ They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

²⁰ They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

²¹ All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room 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-one years.

²⁴ He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

²⁵ He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.

²⁶ For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

²⁷ Yahweh didn't say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; 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 had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁹ Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.

---

¹ In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.

² He was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

³ He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, though not like David his father; he did as Joash his father had done.

⁴ But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

⁵ Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;

⁶ But he did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

⁷ He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela in war, naming it Joktheel, as it is to this day.

⁸ Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

⁹ And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

¹⁰ It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

¹¹ But Amaziah gave no attention. So Jehoash, king of Israel, went up, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

¹² And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.

¹³ And Jehoash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the door in the angle, four hundred cubits.

¹⁴ And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

¹⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

¹⁶ And Jehoash went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.

¹⁷ Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for 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 recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹ Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.

²⁰ And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.

²¹ Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

²² He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.

²³ In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.

²⁴ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

²⁵ He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

²⁶ For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.

²⁷ And the Lord had not said that the name of Israel was to be taken away from the earth; but he gave them a saviour in Jeroboam, the son of Joash.

²⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power, and how he went to war with Damascus, causing the wrath of the Lord to be turned away from Israel, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

²⁹ And Jeroboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
