CHAPTER 14 Amaziah Reigns in Judah

1 In [²year ¹the second] of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, [⁶reigned ¹Amaziah ²son ³of Joash ⁴king ⁵of Judah]. 2 [²a son ³being twenty ⁴and ⁵five ⁶years old ¹He was] in his reigning. And twenty and nine years he reigned in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 3 And he did upright in the eyes of the lord, only not as David his father. According to all as much as [³did ¹Joash ²his father] he did. 4 Only the high places he did not remove, and still the people sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. 5 And it came to pass when [³grew strong ¹the ²kingdom] in his hand, that he struck his servants, the ones striking his father. 6 And the sons of the ones striking he did not put to death, as it is written upon the scroll of the law of Moses, as the lord gave charge, saying, [²shall not die ¹Fathers] for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but only each for his sin shall he die. 7 He struck Edom in Gemela -- ten thousand. And he seized Rock in the war, and he called its name, Joktheel until this day. 8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Joash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, Come, we should see faces. 9 And [⁴sent ¹Joash ²king ³of Israel] to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thorn in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife! And [³went through ¹the ²wild beasts] the field in Lebanon, and trampled upon the thorn. 10 Having beaten you struck Edom, and [²encouraged you ¹your heart]. Be glorified sitting down in your house. And why do you contend in your evil, that you shall fall and Judah with you?

War Between Judah and Israel

11 And [²did not ³hearken ¹Amaziah]. And [⁴ascended ¹Joash ²king ³of Israel], and [⁶saw ⁷faces ¹he ²and ³Amaziah ⁴king ⁵of Judah] in Beth-shemesh of Judea. 12 And Judah failed from in front of Israel, and [²fled ¹each man] to his tent. 13 And [⁵Amaziah ⁶son ⁷of Joash ⁸son ⁹of Ahaziah ¹⁰king ¹¹of Judah ⁴seized ¹Joash ²king ³of Israel] in Beth-shemesh. And he came into Jerusalem and demolished in the wall of Jerusalem at the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner -- four hundred cubits. 14 And he took the gold, and the silver, and all the items being found in the house of the lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and of the sons of the alliances, and he returned unto Samaria. 15 And the rest of the words of Joash, as much as he did in his domination in which he waged war with Amaziah king of Judah, are not these written upon the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Death of Amaziah

16 And Joash slept with his fathers, and they entombed him in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And [³reigned ¹Jeroboam ²his son] instead of him. 17 And [⁶lived ¹Amaziah ²son ³of Joash ⁴king ⁵of Judah] after the dying of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 18 And the rest of the words of Amaziah, and all as much as he did, behold are not these written upon the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? 19 And they confederated against him with a confederation in Jerusalem. And he fled unto Lachish. And they sent after him unto Lachish, and put him to death there. 20 And they lifted him upon the horses, and he was entombed in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

Jeroboam Reigns in Israel

21 And [⁵took ¹all ²the ³people ⁴of Judah] Azariah, and he was a son sixteen years old, and they gave him reign instead of his father Amaziah. 22 He built Elath, and returned it to Judah after [³slept ¹the ²king] with his fathers. 23 In [²year ¹the fifteenth] of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, [⁴reigned ¹Jeroboam ²son ³of Joash] over Israel in Samaria -- forty and one year. 24 And he did the wicked thing before the lord. He did not abstain from all of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who led Israel into sin. 25 He restored the boundary of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the saying of the lord God of Israel, who spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, the one from out of Gath-hepher. 26 For the lord beheld the humiliation of Israel, [²bitter ¹that it was exceedingly], and very few, and being held together, and being depleted, and being abandoned, and there was no one helping Israel. 27 And [²did not speak ¹the lord] to wipe away the name of Israel from beneath heaven. And he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash. 28 And the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all as much as he did, and his dominations, as much as he waged war, and as much as he returned Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, behold are not these written upon the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers with the kings of Israel. And [³reigned ¹Zechariah ²his son] instead of him.
