In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel ,
did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda (
note :)
Gr .
reigned (:
note )
begin to reign .
*
*
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord ,
but not as David his father :
he did according to all things that his father Joas did .
*
Only he removed not the high places :
as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places .
*
And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand ,
that he (
note :)
Gr .
smote (:
note )
slew his servants that had Gr .
smitten slain the king his father .
*
But he slew not the sons of those that had slain him ;
according as it is written in the book of the laws of Moses ,
as the Lord gave commandment ,
saying ,
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children ,
and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers ;
but every one (
note :)
Or ,
be put to death ,
etc .(:
note )
shall die for his own sins .
*
He smote of Edom ten thousand in the (
note :)
The Gr .
is from xlm-ygb Keri (:
note )
valley of salt ,
and took Hebrews .
Selah the Rock in the war ,
and called its name Jethoel until this day .
*
Then Amessias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz son of Ju king of Israel ,
saying ,
Come ,
let us (
note :)
Gr .
appear to faces (:
note )
look one another in the face .
*
And Joas the king of Israel sent to Amessias king of Juda ,
saying ,
The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus ,
saying ,
Give my daughter to thy son to wife :
and the wild beasts of the field that were in Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle .
*
Thou hast smitten and wounded Edom ,
and thy heart has lifted thee up : (
note :)
Gr .
glorify thyself sitting in thy house (:
note )
stay at home and glorify thyself ;
for wherefore art thou quarrelsome to thy hurt ?
So both thou wilt fall and Juda with thee .
*
Nevertheless Amessias hearkened not :
so Joas king of Israel went up ,
and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda .
*
And Juda (
note :)
Gr .
fell (:
note )
was overthrown before Israel ,
and every man fled to his tent .
*
And Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias ,
in Baethsamys ;
and he came to Jerusalem ,
and broke down the wall of Jerusalem ,
beginning at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner ,
four hundred cubits .
*
And he took the gold ,
and the silver ,
and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord ,
and in the treasures of the king ’
s house ,
and the (
note :)
Gr .
and Hebrews .
lit .
sons of exchange (:
note )
hostages ,
and returned to Samaria .
*
And the rest of the acts of Joas ,
even all that he did in his might ,
how he warred with Amessias king of Juda ,
are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
*
And Joas slept with his fathers ,
and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel ;
and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead .
*
And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years .
*
And the rest of the acts of Amessias ,
and all that he did ,
are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda ?
*
And they (
note :)
Gr .
conspired with a conspiracy (:
note )
formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem ,
and he fled to Lachis :
and they sent after him to Lachis ,
and slew him there .
*
And they (
note :)
Gr .
lifted him (:
note )
brought him upon horses ;
and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David .
*
And all the people of Juda took Azarias ,
and he was (
note :)
Gr .
a son of 16 years (:
note )
sixteen years old ,
and made him king in the room of his father Amessias .
*
He built Æ
loth ,
and restored it to Juda ,
after the king slept with his fathers .
