@
Amaziah
was
twenty
and
five
years
old
when he began to
reign
, and he
reigned
twenty
and
nine
years
in
Jerusalem
. And his
mothers
name
was
Jehoaddan
of
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:2
@ And he
did
that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
, but not with a
perfect
heart
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:3
@ Now it came to pass, when the
kingdom
was
established
to him, that he
slew
his
servants
that had
killed
the
king
his
father
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:4
@ But he
slew
not their
children
, but did as it is
written
in the
law
in the
book
of
Moses
, where the
LORD
commanded
,
saying
, The
fathers
shall not
die
for the
children
, neither shall the
children
die
for the
fathers
, but every
man
shall
die
for his own
sin
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:5
@ Moreover
Amaziah
gathered
Judah
together
, and
made
them
captains
over
thousands
, and
captains
over
hundreds
, according to the
houses
of their
fathers
, throughout all
Judah
and
Benjamin
: and he
numbered
them from
twenty
years
old
and
above
, and
found
them
three
hundred
thousand
choice
men, able to go
forth
to
war
, that could
handle
spear
and
shield
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:6
@ He
hired
also an
hundred
thousand
mighty
men of
valour
out of
Israel
for an
hundred
talents
of
silver
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:7
@ But there
came
a
man
of
God
to him,
saying
, O
king
, let not the
army
of
Israel
go
with thee; for the
LORD
is not with
Israel
, to wit, with all the
children
of
Ephraim
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:8
@ But if thou wilt
go
,
do
it, be
strong
for the
battle
:
God
shall make thee
fall
before
the
enemy
: for
God
hath
power
to
help
, and to cast
down
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:9
@ And
Amaziah
said
to the
man
of
God
, But what shall we
do
for the
hundred
talents
which I have
given
to the
army
of
Israel
? And the
man
of
God
answered
, The
LORD
is
able to
give
thee much
more
than this.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:10
@ Then
Amaziah
separated
them, to wit, the
army
that was
come
to him out of
Ephraim
, to
go
home
again
: wherefore their
anger
was
greatly
kindled
against
Judah
, and they
returned
home
in
great
anger
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:11
@ And
Amaziah
strengthened
himself, and led
forth
his
people
, and
went
to the
valley
of
salt
, and
smote
of the
children
of
Seir
ten
thousand
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:12
@ And other
ten
thousand
left
alive
did the
children
of
Judah
carry away
captive
, and
brought
them unto the
top
of the
rock
, and cast them
down
from the
top
of the
rock
, that they all were broken in
pieces
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:13
@ But the
soldiers
of the
army
which
Amaziah
sent
back
, that they should not
go
with him to
battle
,
fell
upon the
cities
of
Judah
, from
Samaria
even unto
Bethhoron
Beyth, and
smote
three
thousand
of them, and
took
much
spoil
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:14
@ Now it came to pass,
after
that
Amaziah
was
come
from the
slaughter
of the
Edomites
, that he
brought
the
gods
of the
children
of
Seir
, and set them
up
to be his
gods
, and bowed
down
himself
before
them, and burned
incense
unto them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:15
@ Wherefore the
anger
of the
LORD
was
kindled
against
Amaziah
, and he
sent
unto him a
prophet
, which
said
unto him, Why hast thou
sought
after the
gods
of the
people
, which could not
deliver
their own
people
out of thine
hand
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:16
@ And it came to pass, as he
talked
with him, that the king
said
unto him, Art thou
made
of the
kings
counsel
?
forbear
; why shouldest thou be
smitten
? Then the
prophet
forbare
, and
said
, I
know
that
God
hath
determined
to
destroy
thee, because thou hast
done
this, and hast not
hearkened
unto my
counsel
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:17
@ Then
Amaziah
king
of
Judah
took
advice
, and
sent
to
Joash
, the
son
of
Jehoahaz
Y@, the
son
of
Jehu
,
king
of
Israel
,
saying
,
Come
, let us see one
another
in the
face
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:18
@ And
Joash
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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:19
@ Thou
sayest
, Lo, thou hast
smitten
the
Edomites
; and thine
heart
lifteth thee
up
to
boast
:
abide
now at
home
; why shouldest thou
meddle
to thine
hurt
, that thou shouldest
fall
, even thou, and
Judah
with thee?
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:20
@ But
Amaziah
would not
hear
; for it came of
God
, that he might
deliver
them into the
hand
of their enemies, because they
sought
after the
gods
of
Edom
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:21
@ So
Joash
the
king
of
Israel
went
up
; and they saw one
another
in the
face
, both he and
Amaziah
king
of
Judah
, at
Bethshemesh
Beyth, which belongeth to
Judah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:22
@ And
Judah
was put to the
worse
before
Israel
, and they
fled
every
man
to his
tent
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:23
@ And
Joash
the
king
of
Israel
took
Amaziah
king
of
Judah
, the
son
of
Joash
, the
son
of
Jehoahaz
Y@, at
Bethshemesh
Beyth, and
brought
him to
Jerusalem
, and brake
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
from the
gate
of
Ephraim
to the
corner
gate
,
four
hundred
cubits
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:24
@ And he took all the
gold
and the
silver
, and all the
vessels
that were
found
in the
house
of
God
with
Obededom
Obed, and the
treasures
of the
kings
house
, the
hostages
also, and
returned
to
Samaria
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:25
@ And
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Judah
lived
after
the
death
of
Joash
son
of
Jehoahaz
king
of
Israel
fifteen
years
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:26
@ Now the
rest
of the
acts
of
Amaziah
,
first
and
last
, behold, are they not
written
in the
book
of the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:27
@ Now after the
time
that
Amaziah
did turn
away
from
following
the
LORD
they
made
a
conspiracy
against him in
Jerusalem
; and he
fled
to
Lachish
: but they
sent
to
Lachish
after
him, and
slew
him there.
strkjv@2Chronicles:25:28
@ And they
brought
him upon
horses
, and
buried
him with his
fathers
in the
city
of
Judah
