Amaziah
Reigns over Judah |
|
|
 |
| 2 Kings 14:1 |
|
In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king
of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah became king. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:2 |
|
He was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:3 |
|
He did right in the sight of the LORD, yet not
like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:4 |
|
Only the high places were not taken away; the
people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:5 |
|
Now it came about, as soon as the kingdom was
firmly in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:6 |
|
But the sons of the slayers he did not put
to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the
LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor
the sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his
own sin." |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:7 |
|
He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt 10,000
and took Sela by war, and named it Joktheel to this day. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:8 |
|
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the
son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face each other." |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:9 |
|
Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king
of Judah, saying, "The thorn bush which was in Lebanon sent to the cedar which
was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' But there
passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trampled the thorn bush. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:10 |
|
You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart
has become proud. Enjoy your glory and stay at home; for why should you provoke
trouble so that you, even you, would fall, and Judah with you?" |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:11 |
|
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king
of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh,
which belongs to Judah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:12 |
|
Judah was defeated by Israel, and they fled
each to his tent. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:13 |
|
Then Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah
king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came
to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the
Corner Gate, 400 cubits. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:14 |
|
He took all the gold and silver and all the
utensils which were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the
king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. |
| |
|

Jeroboam
II Succeeds Jehoash in Israel |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:15 |
|
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? |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:16 |
|
So Jehoash slept with his fathers and was buried
in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Azariah
(Uzziah) Succeeds Amaziah in Judah |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:17 |
|
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived
fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:18 |
|
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they
not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:19 |
|
They conspired against him in Jerusalem, and
he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:20 |
|
Then they brought him on horses and he was buried
at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:21 |
|
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was
sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:22 |
|
He built Elath and restored it to Judah after
the king slept with his fathers. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:23 |
|
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of
Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel became king in Samaria,
and reigned forty-one years. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:24 |
|
He did 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
sin. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:25 |
|
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance
of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD,
the God of Israel, which He spoke through His servant Jonah the son of Amittai,
the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:26 |
|
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, which
was very bitter; for there was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper
for Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:27 |
|
The LORD did not say 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. |

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all
that he did and his might, how he fought and how he recovered for Israel, Damascus
and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the Book of the
Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 14:29 |
|
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with
the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place. |
