In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel , Amaziah son of Joash became king ... of Judah.
He was twenty-five ... years old ... when he became king , and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine ... years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan ; she was from Jerusalem.
And he did (what was) right in the eyes of the LORD , but not as his father David {had done}. He did everything as his father Joash had done.
Nevertheless , the high places were not taken away , and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
- As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp , Amaziah executed - the servants who had murdered - his father the king.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death , (but acted) according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses , where the LORD ... commanded : “ Fathers must not be put to death for their children , and children must not be put to death for their fathers ; each is to die for his own sin. ”
Amaziah struck down - 10,000 {} ... Edomites in the Valley of Salt. ... He took - Sela in battle and called - it Joktheel , (which is) its name to this very day.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz , the son of Jehu. “ Come , let us meet face to face , ” he said.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah - : “ A thistle - in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar - in Lebanon , saying , ‘ Give - your daughter to my son in marriage. ’ Then a wild beast - in Lebanon came along and trampled - the thistle.
You have indeed defeated ... - Edom , and your heart has become proud. Glory (in that) and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall — you and Judah with you ? ”
But Amaziah would not listen , and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other ... vvv at Beth-shemesh - in Judah.
And Judah was routed before Israel , and every man fled to his home.
- vvv There at Beth-shemesh , Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah , the son of Joash , the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate — (a section of) four hundred cubits.
He took - all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal - palace , as well as some hostages .... Then he returned to Samaria.
As for the rest of the Acts - of Jehoash , along with his accomplishments ... , his might , and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah , ... ... are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles - ... of the Kings of Israel ?
And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen ... years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
As for the rest of the Acts - of Amaziah , are they not ... written in the Book of the Chronicles - ... of the Kings of Judah ?
And conspirators plotted against {Amaziah] in Jerusalem , and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish , and they killed him there.
They carried him back - on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
Then all the people of Judah - took Azariah , who (was) sixteen ... years old ... , and made him king - in place of his father Amaziah.
(Azariah was the one) who rebuilt - Elath and restored it to Judah after King (Amaziah) rested with his fathers.
In the fifteenth ... year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah , Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king ... of Israel , (and he reigned) in Samaria forty-one ... years.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat - had caused Israel to commit. -
(This Jeroboam) restored - the boundary of Israel vvv from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah , according to the word that the LORD , the God of Israel , had spoken through His servant Jonah - son of Amittai , the prophet - vvv from Gath-hepher.
For the LORD - saw that the affliction of the Israelites , both slave (and) ... free , was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel ,
and since the LORD had said vvv that He would not blot out - the name of Israel from under heaven , He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
As for the rest of the Acts - of Jeroboam , along with all his accomplishments ... and might , and how he waged war - and recovered - - ... both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles - ... of the Kings of Israel ?
And Jeroboam rested with his fathers , ... the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah - reigned in his place.
