Amaziahh558 was twentyh6242 and fiveh2568 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he began to reignh4427h8804, and he reignedh4427h8804 twentyh6242 and nineh8672 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. And his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Jehoaddanh3086 of Jerusalemh3389.

2

And he didh6213h8799 that which was righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, but not with a perfecth8003 hearth3824.

3

Now it came to pass, when the kingdomh4467 was establishedh2388h8804 to him, that he slewh2026h8799 his servantsh5650 that had killedh5221h8688 the kingh4428 his fatherh1. established...: Heb. confirmed upon him

But he slewh4191h8689 not their childrenh1121, but did as it is writtenh3789h8803 in the lawh8451 in the bookh5612 of Mosesh4872, where the LORDh3068 commandedh6680h8765, sayingh559h8800, The fathersh1 shall not dieh4191h8799 for the childrenh1121, neither shall the childrenh1121 dieh4191h8799 for the fathersh1, but every manh376 shall dieh4191h8799 for his own sinh2399.

5

Moreover Amaziahh558 gatheredh6908 Judahh3063 togetherh6908h8799, and madeh5975h8686 them captainsh8269 over thousandsh505, and captainsh8269 over hundredsh3967, according to the housesh1004 of their fathersh1, throughout all Judahh3063 and Benjaminh1144: and he numberedh6485h8799 them from twentyh6242 yearsh8141 oldh1121 and aboveh4605, and foundh4672h8799 them threeh7969 hundredh3967 thousandh505 choiceh977h8803 men, able to go forthh3318h8802 to warh6635, that could handleh270h8802 spearh7420 and shieldh6793.

6

He hiredh7936h8799 also an hundredh3967 thousandh505 mightyh1368 men of valourh2428 out of Israelh3478 for an hundredh3967 talentsh3603 of silverh3701.

7

But there cameh935h8804 a manh376 of Godh430 to him, sayingh559h8800, O kingh4428, let not the armyh6635 of Israelh3478 goh935h8799 with thee; for the LORDh3068 is not with Israelh3478, to wit, with all the childrenh1121 of Ephraimh669.

8

But if thou wilt goh935h8798, doh6213h8798 it , be strongh2388h8798 for the battleh4421: Godh430 shall make thee fallh3782h8686 beforeh6440 the enemyh341h8802: for Godh430 hathh3426 powerh3581 to helph5826h8800, and to cast downh3782h8687.

9

And Amaziahh558 saidh559h8799 to the manh376 of Godh430, But what shall we doh6213h8800 for the hundredh3967 talentsh3603 which I have givenh5414h8804 to the armyh1416 of Israelh3478? And the manh376 of Godh430 answeredh559h8799, The LORDh3068 ish3426 able to giveh5414h8800 thee much moreh7235h8687 than this. army: Heb. band

10

Then Amaziahh558 separatedh914h8686 them, to wit , the armyh1416 that was comeh935h8804 to him out of Ephraimh669, to goh3212 homeh4725 againh3212h8800: wherefore their angerh639 was greatlyh3966 kindledh2734h8799 against Judahh3063, and they returnedh7725h8799 homeh4725 in greath2750 angerh639. home again: Heb. to their place

11

And Amaziahh558 strengthenedh2388h8694 himself, and led forthh5090h8799 his peopleh5971, and wenth3212h8799 to the valleyh1516 of salth4417, and smoteh5221h8686 of the childrenh1121 of Seirh8165 tenh6235 thousandh505.

12

And other tenh6235 thousandh505 left aliveh2416 did the childrenh1121 of Judahh3063 carry away captiveh7617h8804, and broughth935h8686 them unto the toph7218 of the rockh5553, and cast them downh7993h8686 from the toph7218 of the rockh5553, that they all were broken in piecesh1234h8738.

13

But the soldiersh1121 of the armyh1416 which Amaziahh558 sent backh7725h8689, that they should not goh3212h8800 with him to battleh4421, fellh6584h8799 upon the citiesh5892 of Judahh3063, from Samariah8111 even unto Bethhoronh1032, and smoteh5221h8686 threeh7969 thousandh505 of them, and tookh962h8799 muchh7227 spoilh961. the soldiers...: Heb. the sons of the band

14

Now it came to pass, afterh310 that Amaziahh558 was comeh935h8800 from the slaughterh5221h8687 of the Edomitesh130, that he broughth935h8686 the godsh430 of the childrenh1121 of Seirh8165, and set them uph5975h8686 to be his godsh430, and bowed downh7812h8691 himself beforeh6440 them, and burned incenseh6999h8762 unto them.

15

Wherefore the angerh639 of the LORDh3068 was kindledh2734h8799 against Amaziahh558, and he senth7971h8799 unto him a propheth5030, which saidh559h8799 unto him, Why hast thou soughth1875h8804 after the godsh430 of the peopleh5971, which could not deliverh5337h8689 their own peopleh5971 out of thine handh3027?

16

And it came to pass, as he talkedh1696h8763 with him, that the king saidh559h8799 unto him, Art thou madeh5414h8804 of the king'sh4428 counselh3289h8802? forbearh2308h8798; why shouldest thou be smittenh5221h8686? Then the propheth5030 forbareh2308h8799, and saidh559h8799, I knowh3045h8804 that Godh430 hath determinedh3289h8804 to destroyh7843h8687 thee, because thou hast doneh6213h8804 this, and hast not hearkenedh8085h8804 unto my counselh6098. determined: Heb. counselled

17

Then Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 took adviceh3289h8735, and senth7971h8799 to Joashh3101, the sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059, the sonh1121 of Jehuh3058, kingh4428 of Israelh3478, sayingh559h8800, Comeh3212h8798, let us see one anotherh7200h8691 in the faceh6440.

18

And Joashh3101 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 senth7971h8799 to Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, sayingh559h8800, The thistleh2336 that was in Lebanonh3844 senth7971h8804 to the cedarh730 that was in Lebanonh3844, sayingh559h8800, Giveh5414h8798 thy daughterh1323 to my sonh1121 to wifeh802: and there passed byh5674h8799 a wildh7704 beasth2416 that was in Lebanonh3844, and trode downh7429h8799 the thistleh2336. thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn

19

Thou sayesth559h8804, Lo, thou hast smittenh5221h8689 the Edomitesh123; and thine hearth3820 lifteth thee uph5375h8804 to boasth3513h8687: abideh3427h8798 now at homeh1004; why shouldest thou meddleh1624h8691 to thine hurth7451, that thou shouldest fallh5307h8804, even thou, and Judahh3063 with thee?

20

But Amaziahh558 would not hearh8085h8804; for it came of Godh430, that he might deliverh5414h8800 them into the handh3027 of their enemies , because they soughth1875h8804 after the godsh430 of Edomh123.

21

So Joashh3101 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 went uph5927h8799; and they saw one anotherh7200h8691 in the faceh6440, both he and Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, at Bethshemeshh1053, which belongeth to Judahh3063.

22

And Judahh3063 was put to the worseh5062h8735 beforeh6440 Israelh3478, and they fledh5127h8799 every manh376 to his tenth168. put...: Heb. smitten

23

And Joashh3101 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 tookh8610h8804 Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, the sonh1121 of Joashh3101, the sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059, at Bethshemeshh1053, and broughth935h8686 him to Jerusalemh3389, and brake downh6555h8799 the wallh2346 of Jerusalemh3389 from the gateh8179 of Ephraimh669 to the cornerh6437h8802 gateh8179, fourh702 hundredh3967 cubitsh520. the corner...: Heb. the gate of it that looketh

And he took all the goldh2091 and the silverh3701, and all the vesselsh3627 that were foundh4672h8737 in the househ1004 of Godh430 with Obededomh5654, and the treasuresh214 of the king'sh4428 househ1004, the hostagesh1121h8594 also, and returnedh7725h8799 to Samariah8111.

25

And Amaziahh558 the sonh1121 of Joashh3101 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 livedh2421h8799 afterh310 the deathh4194 of Joashh3101 sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 fifteenh2568h6240 yearsh8141.

27

Now after the timeh6256 that Amaziahh558 did turn awayh5493h8804 from followingh310 the LORDh3068 they madeh7194h8799 a conspiracyh7195 against him in Jerusalemh3389; and he fledh5127h8799 to Lachishh3923: but they senth7971h8799 to Lachishh3923 afterh310 him, and slewh4191h8686 him there. from...: Heb. from after
