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 for twenty-nineH6242H8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddinH3086 of JerusalemH3389. 3He didH6213 whatH3477 wasH3477 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, yetH7534 not like his fatherH1 DavidH1732; he actedH6213 in accordance with everythingH3605 that his fatherH1 JoashH3060 had doneH6213. 4OnlyH7534 3the highH1116 placesH1116 were not eliminatedH5493; 4the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116. 5Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, asH3512 soonH3512 asH3512 the kingdomH4467 wasH2388 firmlyH2388 in his handH3027, that he 56killedH5221 his servantsH5650 who had 7killedH5221 the kingH4428, his fatherH1. 6But he did not putH4191 the sonsH1121 of 8the murderersH5221 toH4191 deathH4191, in 9obedience to what is writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of MosesH4872, as the LordH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, “10The fathersH1 shall not be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 for the sonsH1121, norH3808 the sonsH1121 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 for the fathersH1; but 11eachH376 shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 for his own sinH2399.”

7He 12killedH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 of the EdomitesH112 in 13the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417, and tookH8610 14SelaH5554 by warH4421, and namedH7121H8034 it 15JoktheelH3371, as it is to thisH2088 dayH3117.

816ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 17JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “18ComeH1980, let’s faceH7200H6440 each other in combat.” 9But JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengers to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “19The thornH2336 bushH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 word to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 20in marriageH802.’ But a wildH7704 animalH2421 that was in LebanonH3844 passedH5674 byH5674 and trampledH7429 the thornH2336 bushH2336. 1021You have indeedH5221 22defeatedH5221 EdomH112, and 23your heartH3820 24is elatedH5375. EnjoyH3513 the gloryH3513 and stayH3427 homeH1004; for whyH4100 should you getH1624 involvedH1624 inH1624 troubleH7463 so that you would fallH5307, you and JudahH3063 with you?”

11But AmaziahH558 would not listenH8085. So JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and they facedH7200H6440 each other, he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at 25Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063. 12And JudahH3063 was defeatedH5062 by IsraelH3478, and 26they fledH5127, everyH376 manH376 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 27the GateH8179 of EphraimH669 to 28the CornerH6438 GateH8179, 29fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. 14And 30he 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 hostagesH1121H8594 as well, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
