* 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash Y @how #ash #, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu , king of Israel Yisra #el #, saying , Come , let us look one another in the face . * 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 . * 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 ? * 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 Beyth , which belongeth to Judah . * And Judah was put to the worse before Israel Yisra #el #; and they fled every man to their tents . * And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah , the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah , at Bethshemesh Beyth , and came to Jerusalem , and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate sha #ar #, four hundred cubits . * 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 kings house , and hostages ben # ta #arubah #, and returned to Samaria . * 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 dabar # of the kings of Israel Yisra #el #? * And Jehoash slept with his fathers , and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel Yisra #el #; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead . * And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen chamesh # years . * And the rest of the acts of Amaziah , are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar # of the kings of Judah ? * 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 . * And they brought him on horses : and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David . * And all the people of Judah took Azariah , which was sixteen shesh # years old , and made him king instead of his father Amaziah . * He built Elath , and restored it to Judah , after that the king slept with his fathers .
