[1]AmaziahH558 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427[H8804], and he reignedH4427[H8804] twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddanH3086 of JerusalemH3389. |

[2]And he didH6213[H8799] that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not with a perfectH8003 heartH3824. |
[No book] |
[3]Now it came to pass, when the kingdomH4467 was establishedH2388[H8804] to him, that he slewH2026[H8799] his servantsH5650 that had killedH5221[H8688] the kingH4428 his fatherH1. |
[No book] |
[4]But he slewH4191[H8689] not their childrenH1121, but did as it is writtenH3789[H8803] in the lawH8451 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872, where the LORDH3068 commandedH6680[H8765], sayingH559[H8800], The fathersH1 shall not dieH4191[H8799] for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 dieH4191[H8799] for the fathersH1, but every manH376 shall dieH4191[H8799] for his own sinH2399. |

[5]Moreover AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 JudahH3063 togetherH6908[H8799], and madeH5975[H8686] them captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, according to the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, throughout all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: and he numberedH6485[H8799] them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, and foundH4672[H8799] them threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 choiceH977[H8803] men, able to go forthH3318[H8802] to warH6635, that could handleH270[H8802] spearH7420 and shieldH6793. |
[No book] |
[6]He hiredH7936[H8799] also an hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 men of valourH2428 out of IsraelH3478 for an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701. |
[No book] |
[7]But there cameH935[H8804] a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559[H8800], O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935[H8799] with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669. |
[No book] |
[8]But if thou wilt goH935[H8798], doH6213[H8798] it, be strongH2388[H8798] for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782[H8686] beforeH6440 the enemyH341[H8802]: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826[H8800], and to cast downH3782.[H8687] |
[No book] |
[9]And AmaziahH558 saidH559[H8799] to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we doH6213[H8800] for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414[H8804] to the armyH1416 of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answeredH559[H8799], The LORDH3068 isH3426 able to giveH5414[H8800] thee much moreH7235 than thisH8687. |
[No book] |
[10]Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914[H8686] them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935[H8804] to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212[H8800]: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734[H8799] against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725[H8799] homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639. |
[No book] |
[11]And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388[H8694] himself, and led forthH5090[H8799] his peopleH5971, and wentH3212[H8799] to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221[H8686] of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505. |
[No book] |
[12]And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617[H8804], and broughtH935[H8686] them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993[H8686] from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.[H8738] |
[No book] |
[13]But the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 which AmaziahH558 sent backH7725[H8689], that they should not goH3212[H8800] with him to battleH4421, fellH6584[H8799] upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221[H8686] threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962[H8799] muchH7227 spoilH961. |
[No book] |
[14]Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935[H8800] from the slaughterH5221[H8687] of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935[H8686] the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975[H8686] to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812[H8691] himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto themH8762. |
[No book] |
[15]Wherefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734[H8799] against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971[H8799] unto him a prophetH5030, which saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why hast thou soughtH1875[H8804] after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which could not deliverH5337[H8689] their own peopleH5971 out of thine handH3027? |
[No book] |
[16]And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696[H8763] with him, that the king saidH559[H8799] unto him, Art thou madeH5414[H8804] of the king'sH4428 counselH3289[H8802]? forbearH2308[H8798]; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221[H8686]? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], I knowH3045[H8804] that GodH430 hath determinedH3289[H8804] to destroyH7843[H8687] thee, because thou hast doneH6213[H8804] this, and hast not hearkenedH8085[H8804] unto my counselH6098. |
[No book] |
[17]Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took adviceH3289[H8735], and sentH7971[H8799] to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], ComeH3212[H8798], let us see one anotherH7200[H8691] in the faceH6440. |
[No book] |
[18]And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971[H8799] to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559[H8800], The thistleH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971[H8804] to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559[H8800], GiveH5414[H8798] thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passed byH5674[H8799] a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844, and trode downH7429[H8799] the thistleH2336. |
[No book] |
[19]Thou sayestH559[H8804], Lo, thou hast smittenH5221[H8689] the EdomitesH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375[H8804] to boastH3513[H8687]: abideH3427[H8798] now at homeH1004; why shouldest thou meddleH1624[H8691] to thine hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307[H8804], even thou, and Judah with theeH3063? |
[No book] |
[20]But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085[H8804]; for it came of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414[H8800] them into the handH3027 of their enemies, because they soughtH1875[H8804] after the godsH430 of EdomH123. |
[No book] |
[21]So JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927[H8799]; and they saw one anotherH7200[H8691] in the faceH6440, both he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at BethshemeshH1053, which belongeth to JudahH3063. |
[No book] |
[22]And JudahH3063 was put to the worseH5062[H8735] beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and they fledH5127[H8799] every manH376 to his tentH168. |
[No book] |
[23]And JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610[H8804] AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at BethshemeshH1053, and broughtH935[H8686] him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555[H8799] the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the cornerH6437[H8802] gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. |
[No book] |
[24]And he took all the goldH2091 and the silverH3701, and all the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672[H8737] in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with ObededomH5654, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH1121[H8594] also, and returnedH7725[H8799] to SamariaH8111. |
[No book] |
[25]And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421[H8799] afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568[H6240] yearsH8141. |
[No book] |
[26]Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, are they not writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478? |
[No book] |
[27]Now after the timeH6256 that AmaziahH558 did turn awayH5493[H8804] from followingH310 the LORDH3068 they madeH7194[H8799] a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127[H8799] to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971[H8799] to LachishH3923 afterH310 him, and slewH4191 him thereH8686. |
[No book] |
[28]And they broughtH5375[H8799] him upon horsesH5483, and buriedH6912[H8799] him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of JudahH3063. |
