Book 12 : 2 KINGS - Chapter 014
014:001
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
014:002
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
014:003
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people
did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places
014:004
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
014:005
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
014:006
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
014:007
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
014:008
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
014:009
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
014:010
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 Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah
014:011
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled
every man to their tents
014:012
And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son
of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to
Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate
of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits
014:013
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
014:014
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
014:015
And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria
with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his
stead
014:016
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the
death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years
014:017
And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah
014:018
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
014:019
And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem
with his fathers in the city of David
014:020
And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen
years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah
014:021
He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king
slept with his fathers
014:022
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
014:023
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
014:024
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
Gathhepher
014:025
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
014:026
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
014:027
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
014:028
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of
Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead
