2 Chronicles 25:11-23
11And AmaziahH558 tookH2388 courageH2388, and ledH5090 forth his peopleH5971, and went to the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
12And otherH3605 tenH6235 thousandH505 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carryH935 awayH7993 aliveH2416, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and castH7993 them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they allH3605 were brokenH1234 in piecesH1234.
13But the menH1121 of the armyH4421 whichH834 AmaziahH558 sentH7725 backH7725, that they should notH1121 goH7725 with him to battleH4421, fell upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 evenH5704 unto Beth-horonH1032, and smoteH5221 of them threeH7969 thousandH505, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH962.
14NowH1961 it cameH935 to passH935, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and setH5975 them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowedH7812 downH5221 himselfH7812 beforeH6440 them, and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 unto them.
15Wherefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH413 AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, whichH834 saidH559 unto him, WhyH4100 hast thou soughtH1875 afterH413 the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, whichH834 have notH3808 deliveredH5337 their own peopleH5971 outH7971 of thine handH3027?
16And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Have weH3588 madeH6213 thee of the king’sH4428 counselH6098? forbear; whyH4100 shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbare, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determined to destroyH7843 thee, becauseH3588 thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast notH3808 hearkened unto my counselH6098.
17Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH1980 adviceH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH1980, letH7971 usH413 lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440.
18And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistle that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passedH5674 by a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844; and trode downH7429 the thistle.
19Thou sayest, LoH2009, thou hast smittenH5221 EdomH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boast: abideH3427 nowH6258 at homeH1004; whyH4100 shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fallH5307, evenH853 thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?
20But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 hearH8085; for it was of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of their enemies, becauseH3588 they had soughtH1875 afterH3588 the godsH430 of EdomH123.
21SoH5927 JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 lookedH7200 one another in the faceH6440 at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongeth to JudahH3063.
22And JudahH3063 was putH5127 to the worse beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and they fledH5127 everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168.
23And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 unto the corner gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
