Chapter 14
In
the
second
year
of
Joash
son
of
Jehoahaz
king
of
Israel
reigned
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Judah.
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.
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.
4
Howbeit
the
high
places
were
not
taken
away:
as
yet
the
people
did
sacrifice
and
burnt
incense
on
the
high
places.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
12
And
Judah
was
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel;
and
they
fled
every
man
to
their
tents.
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.
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,
and
returned
to
Samaria.
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?
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.
17
And
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Judah
lived
after
the
death
of
Jehoash
son
of
Jehoahaz
king
of
Israel
fifteen
years.
18
And
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amaziah,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
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.
20
And
they
brought
him
on
horses:
and
he
was
buried
at
Jerusalem
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David.
21
And
all
the
people
of
Judah
took
Azariah,
which
was
sixteen
years
old,
and
made
him
king
instead
of
his
father
Amaziah.
22
He
built
Elath,
and
restored
it
to
Judah,
after
that
the
king
slept
with
his
fathers.
23
In
the
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.
24
And
he
did
that
which
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord:
he
departed
not
from
all
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
who
made
Israel
to
sin.
25
He
restored
the
coast
of
Israel
from
the
entering
of
Hamath
unto
the
sea
of
the
plain,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
which
he
spake
by
the
hand
of
his
servant
Jonah,
the
son
of
Amittai,
the
prophet,
which
was
of
Gath-hepher.
26
For
the
Lord
saw
the
affliction
of
Israel,
that
it
was
very
bitter:
for
there
was
not
any
shut
up,
nor
any
left,
nor
any
helper
for
Israel.
27
And
the
Lord
said
not
that
he
would
blot
out
the
name
of
Israel
from
under
heaven:
but
he
saved
them
by
the
hand
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash.
28
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jeroboam,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
might,
how
he
warred,
and
how
he
recovered
Damascus,
and
Hamath,
which
belonged
to
Judah,
for
Israel,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Israel?
29
And
Jeroboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
even
with
the
kings
of
Israel;
and
Zachariah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
