H558
Amaziah
H6242
was twenty
H2568
and five
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8804]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H6242
twenty
H8672
and nine
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem.
H517
And his mother's
H8034
name
H3086
was Jehoaddan
H3389
of Jerusalem.
2
H6213 [H8799]
And he did
H3477
that which was right
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD,
H8003
but not with a perfect
H3824
heart.
3
H4467
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom
H2388 [H8804]
was established
H2026 [H8799]
to him, that he slew
H5650
his servants
H5221 [H8688]
that had killed
H4428
the king
H1
his father.
4
H4191 [H8689]
But he slew
H1121
not their sons,
H3789 [H8803]
but did as it is written
H8451
in the law
H5612
of the book
H4872
of Moses,
H3068
where the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
commanded,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1
The fathers
H4191 [H8799]
shall not die
H1121
for the sons,
H1121
neither shall the sons
H4191 [H8799]
die
H1
for the fathers,
H376
but every man
H4191 [H8799]
shall die
H2399
for his own sin.
5
H558
Moreover Amaziah
H6908 0
gathered
H3063
Judah
H6908 [H8799]
together,
H5975 [H8686]
and made
H8269
them captains
H505
over thousands,
H8269
and captains
H3967
over hundreds,
H1004
according to the houses
H1
of their fathers,
H3063
throughout all Judah
H1144
and Benjamin:
H6485 [H8799]
and he numbered
H6242
them from twenty
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4605
and above,
H4672 [H8799]
and found
H7969
them three
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H977 [H8803]
choice
H3318 [H8802]
men, able to go forth
H6635
to war,
H270 [H8802]
that could handle
H7420
spear
H6793
and shield.
6
H7936 [H8799]
He hired
H3967
also an hundred
H505
thousand
H1368
mighty
H2428
men of valour
H3478
out of Israel
H3967
for an hundred
H3603
talents
H3701
of silver.
7
H935 [H8804]
But there came
H376
a man
H430
of God
H559 [H8800]
to him, saying,
H4428
O king,
H6635
let not the army
H3478
of Israel
H935 [H8799]
go
H3068
with thee; for the LORD
H3478
is not with Israel,
H1121
that is, with all the sons
H669
of Ephraim.
8
H935 [H8798]
But if thou wilt go,
H6213 [H8798]
do
H2388 [H8798]
it, be strong
H4421
for the battle:
H430
God
H3782 [H8686]
shall make thee fall
H6440
at the face of
H341 [H8802]
the enemy:
H430
for God
H3426
hath
H3581
power
H5826 [H8800]
to help,
H3782 [H8687]
and to cast down.
9
H558
And Amaziah
H559 [H8799]
said
H376
to the man
H430
of God,
H6213 [H8800]
But what shall we do
H3967
for the hundred
H3603
talents
H5414 [H8804]
which I have given
H1416
to the army
H3478
of Israel?
H376
And the man
H430
of God
H559 [H8799]
answered,
H3068
The LORD
H3426
is
H5414 [H8800]
able to give
H7235 [H8687]
thee much more than this.
10
H558
Then Amaziah
H914 [H8686]
separated
H1416
them, that is, the army
H935 [H8804]
that had come
H669
to him out of Ephraim,
H3212 0
to go
H4725
home
H3212 [H8800]
again:
H639
therefore their anger
H3966
was greatly
H2734 [H8799]
kindled
H3063
against Judah,
H7725 [H8799]
and they returned
H4725
home
H2750
in great
H639
anger.
11
H558
And Amaziah
H2388 [H8694]
strengthened
H5090 [H8799]
himself, and led forth
H5971
his people,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H1516
to the valley
H4417
of salt,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H1121
of the sons
H8165
of Seir
H6235
ten
H505
thousand.
12
H6235
And other ten
H505
thousand
H2416
left alive
H1121
the sons
H3063
of Judah
H7617 [H8804]
carried away captive,
H935 [H8686]
and brought
H7218
them to the top
H5553
of the rock,
H7993 [H8686]
and cast them down
H7218
from the top
H5553
of the rock,
H1234 [H8738]
that they were all broken in pieces.
13
H1121
But the soldiers
H1416
of the army
H558
whom Amaziah
H7725 [H8689]
sent back,
H3212 [H8800]
that they should not go
H4421
with him to battle,
H6584 [H8799]
fell
H5892
upon the cities
H3063
of Judah,
H8111
from Samaria
H1032
even to Bethhoron,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H7969
three
H505
thousand
H962 [H8799]
of them, and took
H7227
much
H961
spoil.
14
H310
Now it came to pass, after
H558
that Amaziah
H935 [H8800]
had come
H5221 [H8687]
from the slaughter
H130
of the Edomites,
H935 [H8686]
that he brought
H430
the gods
H1121
of the sons
H8165
of Seir,
H5975 [H8686]
and set them up
H430
to be his gods,
H7812 [H8691]
and bowed
H6440
himself at the face of
H6999 [H8762]
them, and burned incense to them.
15
H639
Therefore the anger
H3068
of the LORD
H2734 [H8799]
was kindled
H558
against Amaziah,
H7971 [H8799]
and he sent
H5030
to him a prophet,
H559 [H8799]
who said
H1875 [H8804]
to him, Why hast thou sought
H430
after the gods
H5971
of the people,
H5337 [H8689]
which could not deliver
H5971
their own people
H3027
out of thine hand?
16
H1696 [H8763]
And it came to pass, as he talked
H559 [H8799]
with him, that the king said
H5414 [H8804]
to him, Art thou made
H4428
of the king's
H3289 [H8802]
council?
H2308 [H8798]
forbear;
H5221 [H8686]
why shouldest thou be smitten?
H5030
Then the prophet
H2308 [H8799]
stopped,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H3045 [H8804]
I know
H430
that God
H3289 [H8804]
hath determined
H7843 [H8687]
to decay
H6213 [H8804]
thee, because thou hast done
H8085 [H8804]
this, and hast not hearkened
H6098
to my counsel.
17
H558
Then Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H3289 [H8735]
took advice,
H7971 [H8799]
and sent
H3101
to Joash,
H1121
the son
H3059
of Jehoahaz,
H1121
the son
H3058
of Jehu,
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3212 [H8798]
Come,
H7200 [H8691]
let us look one another
H6440
in the face.
18
H3101
And Joash
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H558
to Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H2336
The thistle
H3844
that was in Lebanon
H7971 [H8804]
sent
H730
to the cedar
H3844
that was in Lebanon,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H5414 [H8798]
Give
H1323
thy daughter
H1121
to my son
H802
for a wife:
H5674 [H8799]
and there passed by
H7704
a wild
H2416
beast
H3844
that was in Lebanon,
H7429 [H8799]
and trod down
H2336
the thistle.
19
H559 [H8804]
Thou sayest,
H5221 [H8689]
Lo, thou hast smitten
H123
the Edomites;
H3820
and thine heart
H5375 [H8804]
lifteth thee up
H3513 [H8687]
to boast:
H3427 [H8798]
abide
H1004
now at home;
H1624 [H8691]
why shouldest thou meddle
H7451
to thy harm,
H5307 [H8804]
that thou shouldest fall,
H3063
even thou, and Judah with thee?
20
H558
But Amaziah
H8085 [H8804]
would not hear;
H430
for it came from God,
H5414 [H8800]
that he might give
H3027
them into the hand
H1875 [H8804]
of their enemies, because they sought
H430
after the gods
H123
of Edom.
21
H3101
So Joash
H4428
the king
H3478
of Israel
H5927 [H8799]
went up;
H7200 [H8691]
and they looked one another
H6440
in the face,
H558
both he and Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H1053
at Bethshemesh,
H3063
which belongeth to Judah.
22
H3063
And Judah
H5062 [H8735]
was smote
H6440
at the face of
H3478
Israel,
H5127 [H8799]
and they fled
H376
every man
H168
to his tent.
23
H3101
And Joash
H4428
the king
H3478
of Israel
H8610 [H8804]
took
H558
Amaziah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash,
H1121
the son
H3059
of Jehoahaz,
H1053
at Bethshemesh,
H935 [H8686]
and brought
H3389
him to Jerusalem,
H6555 [H8799]
and broke down
H2346
the wall
H3389
of Jerusalem
H8179
from the gate
H669
of Ephraim
H6437 [H8802]
to the corner
H8179
gate,
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H520
cubits.
24
H2091
And he took all the gold
H3701
and the silver,
H3627
and all the vessels
H4672 [H8737]
that were found
H1004
in the house
H430
of God
H5654
with Obededom,
H214
and the treasures
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house,
H1121 H8594
the hostages
H7725 [H8799]
also, and returned
H8111
to Samaria.
25
H558
And Amaziah
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H2421 [H8799]
lived
H310
after
H4194
the death
H3101
of Joash
H1121
son
H3059
of Jehoahaz
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H2568 H6240
fifteen
H8141
years.
26
H3499
Now the rest
H1697
of the acts
H558
of Amaziah,
H7223
first
H314
and last,
H3789 [H8803]
behold, are they not written
H5612
in the book
H4428
of the kings
H3063
of Judah
H3478
and Israel?
27
H6256
Now after the time
H558
that Amaziah
H5493 [H8804]
turned away
H310
from following
H3068
the LORD
H7194 [H8799]
they made
H7195
a conspiracy
H3389
against him in Jerusalem;
H5127 [H8799]
and he fled
H3923
to Lachish:
H7971 [H8799]
but they sent
H3923
to Lachish
H310
after
H4191 [H8686]
him, and slew him there.
