 aIn the secondh8147 yearh8141 of Joashh3060 sonh1121 of Joahazh3099 kingh4428 of Israelh3478,  bAmaziahh558 the sonh1121 of Joashh3060 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 becameh4427a kingh4427a.

2

He was twenty-fiveh6242h2568 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he becameh4427a kingh4427a, and he reignedh4427a twenty-nineh6242h8672 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. And his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Jehoaddinh3086 of Jerusalemh3389.

3

He didh6213a righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, yeth7534 not like Davidh1732 his fatherh1; he didh6213a according to allh3605 that Joashh3060 his fatherh1 hadh7355 doneh6213a.

4

Onlyh7534  athe highh1116 placesh1116 were not takenh5493 awayh5493;  bthe peopleh5971a stillh5750 sacrificedh2076 and burnedh6999 incenseh6999 on the highh1116 placesh1116.

5

Now it cameh1961 about, as soonh3512c as the kingdomh4467 was firmlyh2388 in his handh3027, that he  1 akilledh5221 his servantsh5650 who had slainh5221 the kingh4428 his fatherh1.

6

But the sonsh1121 of the  1slayersh5221 he did not puth4191 to deathh4191, according to what is writtenh3789 in the bookh5612 of the Lawh8451 of Mosesh4872, as the LORDh3068 commandedh6680, sayingh559, " aThe fathersh1 shall not be puth4191 to deathh4191 for the sonsh1121, norh3808 the sonsh1121 be puth4191 to deathh4191 for the fathersh1; but  beachh376 shall be puth4191 to deathh4191 for his own sinh2399."

7

He  1killedh5221 of Edomh112b in  athe Valleyh1516 of Salth4417 10,000h6235h505 and tookh8610  bSelah5554 by warh4421, and namedh7121h8034 it  cJoktheelh3371 to thish2088 dayh3117.

8

 aThenh227 Amaziahh558 senth7971 messengersh4397 to Jehoashh3060, the sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059 sonh1121 of Jehuh3058, kingh4428 of Israelh3478, sayingh559, " bComeh1980, let us faceh7200h6440 each other."

9

Jehoashh3060 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 senth7971 to Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, sayingh559, " aThe thornh2336 bushh2336 whichh834 was in Lebanonh3844 senth7971 to the cedarh730 whichh834 was in Lebanonh3844, sayingh559, `Giveh5414 your daughterh1323 to my sonh1121 in marriageh802.' But there passedh5674a by a wildh7704 beasth2421b that was in Lebanonh3844, and trampledh7429 the thornh2336 bushh2336.

10

aYou have indeedh5221  1defeatedh5221 Edomh112b, and  byour hearth3820 has  2becomeh5375 proudh5375. Enjoyh3513 your gloryh3513 and stayh3427 at homeh1004; for whyh4100 should you provokeh1624 troubleh7463a so that you, even you, would fallh5307, and Judahh3063 with you?"

11

But Amaziahh558 would not listenh8085. So Jehoashh3060 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 wenth5927 up; and he and Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 facedh7200h6440 each other at  aBeth-shemeshh1053, whichh834 belongs to Judahh3063.

12

Judahh3063 was defeatedh5062  1by Israelh3478, and  athey fledh5127 eachh376 to his tenth168.

13

Then 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  athe Gateh8179 of Ephraimh669 to  bthe Cornerh6438 Gateh8179, 400h702h3967  1cubitsh520.

 aHe 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 hostagesh8594 also, and returnedh7725 to Samariah8111.
