14:1 In
the
second
year
of
Joash
the
son
of
Joahaz,
king
of
Israel,
Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Judah,
began
to
reign.
14:2 He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
twenty-nine
years
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother's
name
was
Jehoaddin
of
Jerusalem.
14:3 And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
the
LORD,
yet
not
like
David
his
father.
He
did
in
all
things
as
Joash
his
father
had
done.
14:4 But
the
high
places
were
not
removed;
the
people
still
sacrificed
and
made
offerings
on
the
high
places.
14:5 And
as
soon
as
the
royal
power
was
firmly
in
his
hand,
he
struck
down
his
servants
who
had
struck
down
the
king
his
father.
14:6 But
he
did
not
put
to
death
the
children
of
the
murderers,
according
to
what
is
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Law
of
Moses,
where
the
LORD
commanded,
"Fathers
shall
not
be
put
to
death
because
of
their
children,
nor
shall
children
be
put
to
death
because
of
their
fathers.
But
each
one
shall
die
for
his
own
sin."
14:7 He
struck
down
ten
thousand
Edomites
in
the
Valley
of
Salt
and
took
Sela
by
storm,
and
called
it
Joktheel,
which
is
its
name
to
this
day.
14:8 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."
14:9 And
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
sent
word
to
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
"A
thistle
on
Lebanon
sent
to
a
cedar
on
Lebanon,
saying,
'Give
your
daughter
to
my
son
for
a
wife,'
and
a
wild
beast
of
Lebanon
passed
by
and
trampled
down
the
thistle.
14:10 You
have
indeed
struck
down
Edom,
and
your
heart
has
lifted
you
up.
Be
content
with
your
glory,
and
stay
at
home,
for
why
should
you
provoke
trouble
so
that
you
fall,
you
and
Judah
with
you"
14:11 But
Amaziah
would
not
listen.
So
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
went
up,
and
he
and
Amaziah
king
of
Judah
faced
one
another
in
battle
at
Beth-shemesh,
which
belongs
to
Judah.
14:12 And
Judah
was
defeated
by
Israel,
and
every
man
fled
to
his
home.
14:13 And
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
captured
Amaziah
king
of
Judah,
the
son
of
Jehoash,
son
of
Ahaziah,
at
Beth-shemesh,
and
came
to
Jerusalem
and
broke
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
for
four
hundred
cubits,
from
the
Ephraim
Gate
to
the
Corner
Gate.
14:14 And
he
seized
all
the
gold
and
silver,
and
all
the
vessels
that
were
found
in
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
in
the
treasuries
of
the
king's
house,
also
hostages,
and
he
returned
to
Samaria.
14:15 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoash
that
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
14:16 And
Jehoash
slept
with
his
fathers
and
was
buried
in
Samaria
with
the
kings
of
Israel,
and
Jeroboam
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
14:17 Amaziah
the
son
of
Joash,
king
of
Judah,
lived
fifteen
years
after
the
death
of
Jehoash
son
of
Jehoahaz,
king
of
Israel.
14:18 Now
the
rest
of
the
deeds
of
Amaziah,
are
they
not
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Judah
14:19 And
they
made
a
conspiracy
against
him
in
Jerusalem,
and
he
fled
to
Lachish.
But
they
sent
after
him
to
Lachish
and
put
him
to
death
there.
14:20 And
they
brought
him
on
horses;
and
he
was
buried
in
Jerusalem
with
his
fathers
in
the
city
of
David.
14:21 And
all
the
people
of
Judah
took
Azariah,
who
was
sixteen
years
old,
and
made
him
king
instead
of
his
father
Amaziah.
14:22 He
built
Elath
and
restored
it
to
Judah,
after
the
king
slept
with
his
fathers.
14:23 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
he
reigned
forty-one
years.
14:24 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD.
He
did
not
depart
from
all
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
which
he
made
Israel
to
sin.
14:25 He
restored
the
border
of
Israel
from
Lebo-hamath
as
far
as
the
Sea
of
the
Arabah,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
which
he
spoke
by
his
servant
Jonah
the
son
of
Amittai,
the
prophet,
who
was
from
Gath-hepher.
14:26 For
the
LORD
saw
that
the
affliction
of
Israel
was
very
bitter,
for
there
was
none
left,
bond
or
free,
and
there
was
none
to
help
Israel.
14:27 But
the
LORD
had
not
said
that
he
would
blot
out
the
name
of
Israel
from
under
heaven,
so
he
saved
them
by
the
hand
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash.
14:28 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jeroboam
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
might,
how
he
fought,
and
how
he
restored
Damascus
and
Hamath
to
Judah
in
Israel,
are
they
not
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
14:29 And
Jeroboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
the
kings
of
Israel,
and
Zechariah
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
