*
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 .
