Revised Version 1895

1In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427. 2He was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he beganH1961 to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddinH3086 of JerusalemH3389. 3And he didH6213 that whichH834 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, yet notH3808 like DavidH1732 his fatherH1: he didH6213 according to allH3605 that JoashH3101 his fatherH1 had doneH6213. 4Howbeit the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493: the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burntH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116. 5And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as soon as the kingdomH4467 was establishedH2388 in his handH3027, that he slewH5221 his servantsH5650 whichH834 had slainH5221 the kingH4428 his fatherH1: 6but the childrenH1121 of the murderers he putH4191 notH3808 to deathH4191: accordingH5921 to that whichH834 is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, The fathersH1 shall notH3808 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the childrenH1121, norH3808 the childrenH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathersH1; but everyH376 manH376 shall dieH4191 for his ownH376 sinH2399. 7He slewH5221 of EdomH123 in the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417 tenH6235 thousandH505, and tookH8610 SelaH5554 by warH4421, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JoktheelH3371, unto this dayH3117. 8Then AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Come, letH7971 usH413 lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440. 9And JehoashH3060 the 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. 10Thou hast indeedH5973 smittenH5221 EdomH123, and thine heartH3820 hath liftedH5375 thee upH5375: gloryH3513 thereof, and abideH3427 at homeH1004; for whyH4100 shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fallH5307, evenH853 thou, and JudahH3063 with thee? 11But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 hearH8085. SoH3808 JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 lookedH7200 one anotherH3808 in the faceH6440 at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongeth to JudahH3063. 12And JudahH3063 was putH5127 to the worse beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and they fledH5127 everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168. 13And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 unto the cornerH6438 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubists. 14And he tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111. 15NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoashH3060 whichH834 he didH6213, and his might, and howH834 he foughtH3898 with AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 16And JehoashH3060 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and JeroboamH3379 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 17And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH6240 yearsH8141. 18NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 19And they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 againstH5921 him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971 afterH310 him to LachishH3923, and slew him there. 20And they broughtH5375 him uponH5921 horsesH5483: and he was buriedH6912 at JerusalemH3389 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 21And allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 AzariahH5838, who was sixteenH6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and madeH3605 him kingH4427 in the room of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. 22He builtH1129 ElathH359, and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063, afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1. 23In the fifteenth yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111, and reignedH4427 fortyH705 and one yearsH8141. 24And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 notH3808 from allH3605 the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 25He restoredH7725 the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 unto the seaH3220 of the ArabahH6160, accordingH3027 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 he spake by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, the prophetH5030, whichH834 was of Gath-hepherH1662. 26For the LORDH3068 sawH7200 the affliction of IsraelH3478, that it was veryH3966 bitterH4784: for there was noneH369 shutH6113 upH7200 norH369 leftH5800 at large, neitherH369 was there anyH369 helperH5826 for IsraelH3478. 27And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 notH3808 that he would blot outH3027 the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 from underH8478 heavenH8064: but he savedH3467 them by the handH3027 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101. 28NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, and allH3605 that he didH6213, and his might, howH834 he warred, and howH834 he recoveredH7725 DamascusH1834, and HamathH2574, whichH834 had belonged to JudahH3063, for IsraelH3478, are they hot writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 29And JeroboamH3379 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, even with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and ZechariahH2148 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
