² He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Jehoash the 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, hostages, and returned to Samaria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen fifteen years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ In the fifteenth fifteenth fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ The son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ 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 Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen fifteen years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
