II Kings
Chapter 14
1
In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel
reigned
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
2
He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign,
and
reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem.
And
his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3
And he did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah/God,
yet
not like David his father.
He
did according to all things as Joash his father did.
4
Howbeit the high places were not taken away
as
yet the people did sacrifice
and
burnt incense on the high places.
5
And it came to pass,
as
soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand,
that
he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
6
But the children of the murderers he slew not
according
unto that which is written
in
the book of the law of Moses,
wherein
Jehovah/God commanded, saying,
The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
nor
the children be put to death for the fathers;
but
every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7
He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand,
and
took Selah by war,
and
called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
8
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash,
the
son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Come,
let us look one another in the face.
9
And Jehoash the king of Israel
sent
to Amaziah king of Judah, saying,
The
thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar
that
was in Lebanon, saying,
Give
your daughter to my son to wife
and
there passed by a wild animals/beast that was in Lebanon,
and
trode down the thistle.
10
You have indeed smitten Edom, and your heart/'right lobe'
have
lifted you up.
Glory
of this, and delay/tarry at home . . .
for
why should you meddle to your hurt,
that
you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
11
But Amaziah would not hear.
Therefore
Jehoash king of Israel went up;
and
he and Amaziah king of Judah
looked
one another in the face at Bethshemesh,
which
belonged to Judah.
12
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel;
and
they fled every man to their tents.
13
And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah,
the
son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh,
and
came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem
from
the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate,
four
hundred cubits.
14
And he took all the gold and silver,
and
all the vessels that were found
in
the house of Jehovah/God,
and
in the treasures of the king's house,
and
hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did,
and
his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah,
are
they not written in the book
of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16
And Jehoash slept with his fathers,
and
was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel;
and
Jeroboam his son reigned in his place/stead.
17
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah
lived
after the death of Jehoash
son
of Jehoahaz king of Israel
fifteen
years.
18
And the rest of the acts of Amaziah,
are
they not written in the book
of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19
Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem
and
he fled to Lachish;
but
they sent after him to Lachish,
and
slew him there.
20
And they brought him on horses
and
he was buried at Jerusalem
with
his fathers in the city of David.
21
And all the people of Judah took Azariah,
which
was sixteen years old,
and
made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22
He built Elath, and restored it to Judah,
after
that the king slept with his fathers.
23
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah
the
son of Joash king of Judah
Jeroboam
the son of Joash king of Israel
began
to reign in Samaria,
and
reigned forty and one years.
24
And he did that which was evil
in
the sight of Jehovah/God.
He
departed not from all the sins
of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
who
made Israel to sin.
25
He restored the coast of Israel
from
the entering of Hamath
unto
the sea of the plain,
according
to the word of Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel,
which
he spoke by the hand of his servant
Jonah,
the son of Amittai, the prophet,
who
was of Gathhepher.
26
For Jehovah/God saw the affliction of Israel,
that
it was very bitter . . .
for
there was not any shut up,
nor
any left, nor any helper for Israel.
27
And Jehovah/God said not that He would blot out
the
name of Israel from under heaven
but
He delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did,
and
his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus,
and
Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel,
are
they not written in the book
of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers,
even
with the kings of Israel;
and
Zachariah his son reigned in his place/stead.
