2 Kings 14:8-15
81ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “2ComeH1980, let us faceH7200H6440 each other.” 9JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “3The 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. 104You have indeedH5221 5defeatedH5221 EdomH112, and 6your heartH3820 has 7becomeH5375 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 8Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063. 12JudahH3063 was defeatedH5062 9by IsraelH3478, and 10they 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 11the GateH8179 of EphraimH669 to 12the CornerH6438 GateH8179, 400H702H3967 13cubitsH520. 1414He 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.
1515Now 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?
