King James Version
A
son
of
twenty and five years hath
Amaziah
reigned
, and twenty and nine years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem ,
and the
name
of
his mother
`is'
Jehoaddan of Jerusalem ,
Amaziah
was
twenty and five years old
when
he
began
to
reign
, and he
reigned
twenty and nine years in Jerusalem .
And his mother's
name
was
Jehoaddan of Jerusalem .
and he doth
that which is
right in the eyes
of Jehovah
--
only
, not with a perfect heart.
And he did
that which was
right in the sight
of the
LORD
, but
not with a perfect heart.
And
it cometh
to pass, when the kingdom hath
been
strong
upon
him, that he slayeth
his servants ,
those
smiting
the king his father ,
Now
it came
to pass, when the kingdom was
established
to
him, that he slew
his servants that
had
killed
the king his father .
and
their
sons
he hath
not put
to
death
, but `
did '
as is written in the law ,
in the book of Moses, whom
Jehovah
commanded, saying, `
Fathers do
not die for sons
, and
sons
die not
for fathers, but each
for his own sin they
die
. '
But
he slew
not their
children
, but did as it
is written in the law in the book of Moses, where
the
LORD
commanded, saying, The
fathers shall
not die for the
children
, neither
shall
the
children
die for the
fathers, but every
man
shall
die
for his own sin.
And
Amaziah gathereth
Judah, and appointeth
them, according to the house
of the
fathers, for
heads
of
the
thousands,
and
for
heads
of
the
hundreds,
for
all Judah and Benjamin ;
and he inspecteth
them from a
son
of
twenty years and upward
, and findeth
them three hundred thousand chosen
ones
, going
forth to the
host
, holding
spear and target
.
Moreover
Amaziah gathered
Judah together
, and made
them captains
over
thousands
, and
captains
over
hundreds,
according to the houses
of their
fathers, throughout
all Judah and Benjamin :
and he numbered
them from twenty years old
and above
, and found
them three hundred thousand choice
men
, able
to
go
forth to war
, that
could
handle
spear and shield
.
And
he hireth
out
of
Israel
a
hundred thousand mighty ones
of valour,
with
a
hundred talents of silver ;
He hired
also
an
hundred thousand mighty men
of valor
out
of
Israel
for
an
hundred talents of silver .
and
a man of God hath
come
in
unto
him, saying, `
O king, the host
of Israel doth
not
go with thee; for Jehovah
is not with Israel --
all the sons
of Ephraim ;
But
there
came
a man of God to
him, saying, O king, let
not
the army
of Israel go with thee; for the
LORD
is not with Israel ,
to
wit,
with
all the children
of Ephraim .
but if thou art
going
--
do `
it ',
be strong for battle ,
God doth
cause
thee to
stumble
before an
enemy ,
for there
is
power
in
God to help, and to cause
to
stumble
. '
But if thou wilt
go,
do it ;
be strong for the
battle :
God shall
make
thee fall
before the
enemy :
for God hath
power
to help, and to cast
down
.
And Amaziah saith
to the man of God, `And
what --
to
do for the hundred talents that
I have given to the troop
of Israel? '
And the man of God saith
, `Jehovah
hath
more
to give to
thee than this. '
And Amaziah said
to the man of God, But
what shall
we
do for the hundred talents which
I have given to the army
of Israel? And the man of God answered
, The
LORD
is
able
to give thee much
more
than this.
And
Amaziah separateth
them --
for
the troop
that hath
come in
unto
him from
Ephraim to go to
their
own
place,
and
their anger doth
burn
mightily
against Judah, and they turn
back
to
their
place
in the
heat
of
anger.
Then
Amaziah separated
them ,
to
wit,
the army
that was
come to
him out
of
Ephraim ,
to go home
again:
wherefore
their anger was
greatly
kindled
against Judah, and they returned
home
in great
anger.
And Amaziah hath
strengthened himself, and leadeth
his people, and goeth
to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth
the sons
of Seir --
ten thousand.
And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led
forth
his people, and went
to the valley of salt, and smote
of
the children
of Seir ten thousand.
And ten thousand alive have
the sons
of Judah taken
captive, and they
bring
them to
the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and
all of
them
have
been
broken.
And other
ten thousand left
alive did
the children
of Judah carry
away
captive, and brought
them unto
the top of the rock, and cast them down
from the top of the rock, that
they
all were
broken in
pieces
.
And
the sons
of the troop
that
Amaziah hath
sent back from
going
with him to battle --
they
rush
against
cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon
, and smite
of
them
three thousand, and seize
much prey
.
But
the soldiers
of the army
which
Amaziah sent back ,
that
they
should
not
go
with him to battle ,
fell
upon
the
cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron
, and smote
three thousand of
them
, and took
much spoil
.
And
it cometh
to pass, after the
coming
in
of
Amaziah from smiting
the Edomites, that he bringeth
in
the gods of the sons
of Seir, and establisheth
them to him
for
gods, and before them doth
bow
himself
, and to
them he
maketh
perfume
.
Now
it came
to pass, after that
Amaziah was
come
from the slaughter
of
the
Edomites, that he brought
the gods of the children
of Seir, and set
them up
to be
his
gods, and bowed
down
himself
before them, and burned
incense
unto
them.
And
the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against Amaziah, and He sendeth
unto him a prophet, and
he
saith
unto him, `
Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that
have
not delivered
their people out of thy
hand? '
Wherefore
the anger of the
LORD
was
kindled
against Amaziah, and he sent
unto him a prophet, which
said
unto him, Why hast thou sought after
the gods of the people ,
which
could
not deliver
their own
people out of thine
hand?
And it cometh
to pass, in
his
speaking
unto
him, that he
saith
to
him, `For
a
counsellor
to
the king
have
we
appointed
thee
? cease
for
thee
; why do
they
smite
thee
? '
And
the prophet ceaseth
, and saith
, `
I have
known
that God hath counselled
to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to
my counsel. '
And it came
to pass, as
he
talked
with
him, that the
king
said
unto
him, Art
thou
made
of
the king's
counsel
? forbear
; why shouldest
thou
be
smitten
? Then
the prophet forbare
, and said
, I know
that God hath determined
to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto
my counsel.
And
Amaziah king of Judah taketh
counsel
, and sendeth
unto
Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Then
Amaziah king of Judah took
advice
, and sent
to
Joash ,
the
son of Jehoahaz, the
son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come,
let
us
see
one
another
in
the
face.
`Come,
we
look
one
another
in
the
face.'
And Joash king of Israel sendeth
unto
Amaziah king of Judah, saying, `
The thorn
that `is'
in Lebanon hath
sent unto
the cedar that `is'
in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for
a
wife ;
and pass
by doth
a beast of
the
field
that `is'
in Lebanon, and treadeth
down the thorn
.
And Joash 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 thy daughter to my son to
wife :
and there
passed
by a wild
beast that was
in Lebanon, and trode
down the thistle
.
Thou hast
said
, Lo, I
have
smitten Edom
; and thy
heart hath
lifted
thee up to boast ;
now,
abide in
thy
house,
why dost
thou stir
thyself
up
in
evil
, that thou hast
fallen
, thou, and Judah with thee? '
Thou sayest
, Lo, thou
hast
smitten the
Edomites
; and thine
heart lifteth
thee up to boast :
abide now
at
home;
why shouldest
thou meddle
to
thine
hurt
, that thou shouldest
fall
, even
thou, and Judah with thee?
And
Amaziah hath
not hearkened,
for from
God
it `is'
in
order
to
give
them into hand, because they have
sought the gods of Edom ;
But
Amaziah would
not hear;
for it came
of
God,
that
he
might
deliver
them into the
hand of
their
enemies
, because they sought after
the gods of Edom .
and
go
up
doth
Joash king of Israel ,
and they look
one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in
Beth-Shemesh,
that
`is'
Judah's
,
So
Joash the
king of Israel went
up;
and they saw
one another in the face, both
he and Amaziah king of Judah, at
Bethshemesh
, which
belongeth
to
Judah.
and Judah is
smitten
before Israel, and they flee
--
each
to his tents
.
And Judah was
put
to
the
worse
before Israel, and they fled
every
man
to his tent
.
And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, hath
Joash
king
of
Israel
caught
in
Beth-Shemesh
, and bringeth
him in
to Jerusalem, and breaketh
down in
the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto
the
gate
of
the corner, four hundred cubits ,
And Joash
the
king
of
Israel
took
Amaziah king of Judah, the
son of Joash, the
son of Jehoahaz, at
Bethshemesh
, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and brake
down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to
the corner gate
, four hundred cubits .
and `taketh'
all the gold ,
and the silver, and all the vessels that are
found in the house of God with Obed-Edom
, and the treasures of the house of
the
king
, and
the sons
of
the
pledges
, and turneth
back
to Samaria.
And he
took
all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were
found in the house of God with Obededom
, and the treasures of the king's
house, the hostages
also
, and returned
to Samaria.
And Amaziah son of Joash ,
king of Judah ,
liveth
after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz ,
king of Israel ,
fifteen years ;
And Amaziah the
son of Joash king of Judah lived
after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years .
and
the rest of the matters
of Amaziah, the
first and the
last, lo
, are they not written on
the books
of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Now
the rest of the acts
of Amaziah, first and last, behold
, are they not written in
the book
of the kings of Judah and Israel?
And
from
the time that Amaziah hath
turned
aside
from after
Jehovah
--
they make
a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem ,
and he fleeth
to Lachish ,
and
they send
after
him
to Lachish, and put
him to
death
there ,
Now
after
the time that Amaziah did
turn
away
from following
the
LORD
they made
a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem ;
and he fled

him
, and slew
him there .

him up
on
the
horses, and bury
him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
And they
brought
