11In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JoashH3060 sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 2AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 becameH4427 kingH4427. 2He was twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 twenty-nineH6242H8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddinH3086 of JerusalemH3389. 3He didH6213 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, yetH7534 not like DavidH1732 his fatherH1; he didH6213 according to allH3605 that JoashH3060 his fatherH1 hadH7355 doneH6213. 4OnlyH7534 3the highH1116 placesH1116 were not takenH5493 awayH5493; 4the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116. 5Now it cameH1961 about, as soonH3512 as the kingdomH4467 was firmlyH2388 in his handH3027, that he 56killedH5221 his servantsH5650 who had slainH5221 the kingH4428 his fatherH1. 6But the sonsH1121 of the 7slayersH5221 he did not putH4191 to deathH4191, according to what is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the LawH8451 of MosesH4872, as the LordH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, “8The fathersH1 shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the sonsH1121, norH3808 the sonsH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathersH1; but 9eachH376 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399.”

7He 10killedH5221 of EdomH112 in 11the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417 10,000H6235H505 and tookH8610 12SelaH5554 by warH4421, and namedH7121H8034 it 13JoktheelH3371 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

814ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “15ComeH1980, let us faceH7200H6440 each other.” 9JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “16The thornH2336 bushH2336 whichH834 was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 whichH834 was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 in marriageH802.’ But there passedH5674 by a wildH7704 beastH2421 that was in LebanonH3844, and trampledH7429 the thornH2336 bushH2336. 1017You have indeedH5221 18defeatedH5221 EdomH112, and 19your heartH3820 has 20becomeH5375 proudH5375. EnjoyH3513 your gloryH3513 and stayH3427 at homeH1004; for whyH4100 should you provokeH1624 troubleH7463 so that you, even you, would fallH5307, and JudahH3063 with you?”

11But AmaziahH558 would not listenH8085. So JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 facedH7200H6440 each other at 21Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063. 12JudahH3063 was defeatedH5062 22by IsraelH3478, and 23they fledH5127 eachH376 to his tentH168. 13Then JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 capturedH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and toreH6555 downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from 24the GateH8179 of EphraimH669 to 25the CornerH6438 GateH8179, 400H702H3967 26cubitsH520. 1427He tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701 and allH3605 the utensilsH3627 which were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.

1528Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoashH3060 whichH834 he didH6213, and his mightH1369 and howH834 he foughtH3898 with AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 16So JehoashH3060 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and JeroboamH3379 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.

1729AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 fifteenH2568H6240 yearsH8141 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 18Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 19They conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him in JerusalemH3389, and he fledH5127 to 30LachishH3923; but they sentH7971 afterH310 him to LachishH3923 and killedH4191 him thereH8033. 20Then they broughtH5375 him on horsesH5483 and he was buriedH6912 at JerusalemH3389 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 21AllH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 31AzariahH5838, whoH1931 was sixteenH8337H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and madeH4427 him kingH4427 in the placeH8478 of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. 2232He builtH1129 ElathH365 and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063 afterH310 the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1.
