*
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice ,
and sent to Joash ,
the son of Jehoahaz ,
the son of Jehu ,
king of Israel ,
saying ,
Come ,
let us see one another in the face .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 ,
which belongeth to Judah .
*
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel ,
and they fled every man to his tent .
*
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah ,
the son of Joash ,
the son of Jehoahaz ,
at Bethshemesh ,
and brought him to Jerusalem ,
and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate ,
four hundred cubits .
*
And he took all the gold and the silver ,
and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom ,
and the treasures of the king '
s house ,
the hostages also ,
and returned to Samaria .
*
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
And they brought him upon horses ,
and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah .
