Chapter 25
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.
2
And
he
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
not
with
a
perfect
heart.
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.
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.
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.
6
He
hired
also
an
hundred
thousand
mighty
men
of
valour
out
of
Israel
for
an
hundred
talents
of
silver.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
22
And
Judah
was
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
and
they
fled
every
man
to
his
tent.
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.
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.
25
And
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Judah
lived
after
the
death
of
Joash
son
of
Jehoahaz
king
of
Israel
fifteen
years.
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?
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.
28
And
they
brought
him
upon
horses,
and
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
Judah.
