Chapter 25
Amaziah
was
twentie
and
fiue
yeeres
olde
when
hee
began
to
reigne,
and
hee
reigned
twentie
and
nine
yeeres
in
Ierusalem,
and
his
mothers
name
was
Iehoadan
of
Ierusalem.
2
And
hee
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
not
with
a
perfite
heart.
3
Now
it
came
to
passe
when
the
kingdome
was
established
to
him,
that
he
slew
his
seruants,
that
had
killed
the
king
his
father.
4
But
hee
slewe
not
their
children,
but
did
as
it
is
written
in
the
Law
in
the
booke
of
Moses,
where
the
Lord
commanded,
saying,
The
fathers
shall
not
die
for
the
children,
neither
shall
the
children
die
for
the
fathers;
but
euery
man
shall
die
for
his
owne
sinne.
5
Moreouer,
Amaziah
gathered
Iudah
together,
and
made
them
Captaines
ouer
thousands,
and
captaines
ouer
hundreds,
according
to
the
houses
of
their
fathers,
throughout
all
Iudah
and
Beniamin:
And
he
numbred
them
from
twentie
yeeres
olde
and
aboue,
and
found
them
three
hundred
thousand
choice
men,
able
to
goe
foorth
to
warre,
that
could
handle
speare
and
shield.
6
Hee
hired
also
an
hundred
thousand
mightie
men
of
valour,
out
of
Israel,
for
an
hundred
talents
of
siluer.
7
But
there
came
a
man
of
God
to
him,
saying,
O
king,
let
not
the
armie
of
Israel
goe
with
thee:
for
the
Lord
is
not
with
Israel,
to
wit,
with
all
the
children
of
Ephraim.
8
But
if
thou
wilt
goe,
doe
it,
bee
strong
for
the
battell:
God
shall
make
thee
fall
before
the
enemy:
for
God
hath
power
to
helpe,
and
to
cast
downe.
9
And
Amaziah
said
to
the
man
of
God,
But
what
shall
wee
doe
for
the
hundred
talents
which
I
haue
giuen
to
the
armie
of
Israel?
And
the
man
of
God
answered,
The
Lord
is
able
to
giue
thee
much
more
then
this.
10
Then
Amaziah
separated
them,
to
wit,
the
armie
that
was
come
to
him
out
of
Ephraim,
to
goe
home
againe.
Wherfore
their
anger
was
greatly
kindled
against
Iudah,
and
they
returned
home
in
great
anger.
11
And
Amaziah
strengthened
himselfe,
and
ledde
foorth
his
people,
and
went
to
the
valley
of
salt,
and
smote
of
the
children
of
Seir,
ten
thousand.
12
And
other
ten
thousand
left
aliue,
did
the
children
of
Iudah
cary
away
captiue,
and
brought
them
vnto
the
top
of
the
rocke,
and
cast
them
downe
from
the
top
of
the
rocke,
that
they
all
were
broken
in
pieces.
13
But
the
souldiers
of
the
army
which
Amaziah
sent
backe,
that
they
should
not
goe
with
him
to
battell,
fell
vpon
the
cities
of
Iudah,
from
Samaria
euen
vnto
Beth-horon,
and
smote
three
thousand
of
them,
and
took
much
spoile.
14
Now
it
came
to
passe,
after
that
Amaziah
was
come
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Edomites,
that
hee
brought
the
gods
of
the
children
of
Seir,
and
set
them
vp
to
be
his
gods,
and
bowed
down
himselfe
before
them,
and
burned
incense
vnto
them.
15
Wherfore
the
anger
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
against
Amaziah,
and
hee
sent
vnto
him
a
Prophet,
which
said
vnto
him,
Why
hast
thou
sought
after
the
gods
of
the
people,
which
could
not
deliuer
their
owne
people
out
of
thine
hand?
16
And
it
came
to
passe
as
hee
talked
with
him,
that
the
king
said
vnto
him,
Art
thou
made
of
the
Kings
counsell?
forbeare;
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
vnto
my
counsell.
17
Then
Amaziah
king
of
Iudah
tooke
aduice,
and
sent
to
Ioash
the
sonne
of
Iehoahaz
the
sonne
of
Iehu,
king
of
Israel,
saying,
Come,
let
vs
see
one
another
in
the
face.
18
And
Ioash
king
of
Israel
sent
to
Amaziah
king
of
Iudah,
saying,
The
thistle
that
was
in
Lebanon,
sent
to
the
Cedar
that
was
in
Lebanon,
saying,
Giue
thy
daughter
to
my
sonne
to
wife:
and
there
passed
by
a
wild
beast
that
was
in
Lebanon,
and
trode
downe
the
thistle.
19
Thou
sayest,
Loe,
thou
hast
smitten
the
Edomites,
and
thine
heart
lifteth
thee
vp
to
boast.
Abide
now
at
home,
why
shouldest
thou
meddle
to
thine
hurt,
that
thou
shouldest
fall,
euen
thou,
and
Iudah
with
thee?
20
But
Amaziah
would
not
heare:
for
it
came
of
God,
that
he
might
deliuer
them
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
because
they
sought
after
the
gods
of
Edom.
21
So
Ioash
the
King
of
Israel
went
vp,
and
they
saw
one
another
in
the
face,
both
hee
and
Amaziah
King
of
Iudah
at
Beth-shemesh,
which
belongeth
to
Iudah.
22
And
Iudah
was
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
and
they
fled
euery
man
to
his
tent.
23
And
Ioash
the
king
of
Israel
tooke
Amaziah
king
of
Iudah
the
son
of
Ioash,
the
son
of
Ioahaz,
at
Bethshemesh,
and
brought
him
to
Ierusalem,
and
brake
downe
the
wall
of
Ierusalem,
from
the
gate
of
Ephraim
to
the
corner
gate,
foure
hundred
cubits.
24
And
hee
tooke
all
the
gold
and
the
siluer,
and
all
the
vessels
that
were
found
in
the
house
of
God
with
Obed-Edom,
and
the
treasures
of
the
kings
house,
the
hostages
also,
and
returned
to
Samaria.
25
And
Amaziah
the
sonne
of
Ioash
King
of
Iudah
liued
after
the
death
of
Ioash
sonne
of
Iehoahaz
king
of
Israel,
fifteene
yeeres.
26
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Amaziah,
first
and
last,
behold,
are
they
not
written
in
the
booke
of
the
Kings
of
Iudah
and
Israel?
27
Now
after
the
time
that
Amaziah
did
turne
away
from
following
the
Lord,
they
made
a
conspiracie
against
him
in
Ierusalem,
and
he
fled
to
Lachish:
but
they
sent
to
Lachish
after
him,
and
slew
him
there.
28
And
they
brought
him
vpon
horses,
and
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the
citie
of
Iudah.
