* In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah . * He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign , and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem . And his mothers name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem . * 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 . * Howbeit the high places were not taken away : as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places . * 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 . * In the fifteenth chamesh # #H8141year 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 #arba #iym # and one years . * 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 . * 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 Yisra #el #, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah , the son of Amittai , the prophet , which was of Gathhepher Gath-ha-Chepher #. * For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel Yisra #el #, that it was very bitter : for there was not any shut up , nor any left , nor any helper for Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 Yow #ash #. * Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam Yarob #am #, and all that he did , and his might , how he warred , and how he recovered Damascus , and Hamath , which belonged to Judah , for Israel Yisra #el #, are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar # of the kings of Israel Yisra #el #? * And Jeroboam slept with his fathers , even with the kings of Israel Yisra #el #; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead .
