14:1 In the second 8147 year 8141 of Joash 3101 son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3099 king 4428 of Israel 3478 reigned 4427 8804 Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Judah 3063.

14:2 He was twenty 6242 and five 2568 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and reigned 4427 8804 twenty 6242 and nine 8672 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Jehoaddan 3086 of Jerusalem 3389.

14:3 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, yet 7535 not like David 1732 his father 1: he did 6213 8804 according to all things as Joash 3101 his father 1 did 6213 8804.

14:4 Howbeit the high places 1116 were not taken away 5493 8804: as yet 5750 the people 5971 did sacrifice 2076 8764 and burnt incense 6999 8764 on the high places 1116.

14:5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom 4467 was confirmed 2388 8804 in his hand 3027, that he slew 5221 8686 his servants 5650 which had slain 5221 8688 the king 4428 his father 1.

14:6 But the children 1121 of the murderers 5221 8688 he slew 4191 8689 not: according unto that which is written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the law 8451 of Moses 4872, wherein the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765, saying 559 8800, The fathers 1 shall not be put to death 4191 8714 for the children 1121, nor the children 1121 be put to death 4191 8714 for the fathers 1; but every man 376 shall be put to death 4191 8799 for his own sin 2399.

14:7 He slew 5221 8689 of Edom 123 in the valley 1516 of salt 4417 ten 6235 thousand 505, and took 8610 8804 Selah 5554 by war 4421, and called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of it Joktheel 3371 unto this day 3117.(Selah: or, the rock)

14:8 Then Amaziah 558 sent 7971 8804 messengers 4397 to Jehoash 3060, the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 son 1121 of Jehu 3058, king 4428 of Israel 3478, saying 559 8800, Come 3212 8798, let us look 7200 8691 one another in the face 6440.

14:9 And Jehoash 3060 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 sent 7971 8799 to Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, saying 559 8800, The thistle 2336 that [was] in Lebanon 3844 sent 7971 8804 to the cedar 730 that [was] in Lebanon 3844, saying 559 8800, Give 5414 8798 thy daughter 1323 to my son 1121 to wife 802: and there passed 5674 8799 by a wild 7704 beast 2416 that [was] in Lebanon 3844, and trode down 7429 8799 the thistle 2336.

14:10 Thou hast indeed 5221 8687 smitten 5221 8689 Edom 123, and thine heart 3820 hath lifted thee up 5375 8804: glory 3513 8734 [of this], and tarry 3427 8798 at home 1004: for why shouldest thou meddle 1624 8691 to [thy] hurt 7451, that thou shouldest fall 5307 8804, [even] thou, and Judah 3063 with thee?(at home: Heb. at thy house)

14:11 But Amaziah 558 would not hear 8085 8804. Therefore Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 went up 5927 8799; and he and Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063 looked 7200 8691 one another in the face 6440 at Bethshemesh 1053, which [belongeth] to Judah 3063.

14:12 And Judah 3063 was put to the worse 5062 8735 before 6440 Israel 3478; and they fled 5127 8799 every man 376 to their tents 168.(put…: Heb. smitten)

14:13 And Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 took 8610 8804 Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, the son 1121 of Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274, at Bethshemesh 1053, and came 935 8799 to Jerusalem 3389, and brake down 6555 8799 the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 from the gate 8179 of Ephraim 669 unto the corner 6438 gate 8179, four 702 hundred 3967 cubits 520.

14:14 And he took 3947 8804 all the gold 2091 and silver 3701, and all the vessels 3627 that were found 4672 8737 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and in the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house 1004, and hostages 1121 8594, and returned 7725 8799 to Samaria 8111.

14:15 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehoash 3060 which he did 6213 8804, and his might 1369, and how he fought 3898 8738 with Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

14:16 And Jehoash 3060 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 8735 in Samaria 8111 with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478; and Jeroboam 3379 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

14:17 And Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Judah 3063 lived 2421 8799 after 310 the death 4194 of Jehoash 3060 son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 king 4428 of Israel 3478 fifteen 2568 6240 years 8141.

14:18 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Amaziah 558, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

14:19 Now they made 7194 8799 a conspiracy 7195 against him in Jerusalem 3389: and he fled 5127 8799 to Lachish 3923; but they sent 7971 8799 after 310 him to Lachish 3923, and slew 4191 8686 him there.

14:20 And they brought 5375 8799 him on horses 5483: and he was buried 6912 8735 at Jerusalem 3389 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732.

14:21 And all the people 5971 of Judah 3063 took 3947 8799 Azariah 5838, which [was] sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 old 1121, and made him king 4427 8686 instead of his father 1 Amaziah 558.

14:22 He built 1129 8804 Elath 359, and restored 7725 8686 it to Judah 3063, after 310 that the king 4428 slept 7901 8800 with his fathers 1.

14:23 In the fifteenth 2568 6240 8141 year 8141 of Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Judah 3063 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Israel 3478 began to reign 4427 8804 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] forty 705 and one 259 years 8141.

14:24 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068: he departed 5493 8804 not from all the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

14:25 He restored 7725 8689 the coast 1366 of Israel 3478 from the entering 935 8800 of Hamath 2574 unto the sea 3220 of the plain 6160, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, which he spake 1696 8765 by the hand 3027 of his servant 5650 Jonah 3124, the son 1121 of Amittai 573, the prophet 5030, which [was] of Gathhepher 1662.

14:26 For the LORD 3068 saw 7200 8804 the affliction 6040 of Israel 3478, [that it was] very 3966 bitter 4784 8802: for [there was] not 657 any shut up 6113 8803, nor any left 5800 8803, nor any helper 5826 8802 for Israel 3478.

14:27 And the LORD 3068 said 1696 8765 not that he would blot out 4229 8800 the name 8034 of Israel 3478 from under heaven 8064: but he saved 3467 8686 them by the hand 3027 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Joash 3101.

14:28 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jeroboam 3379, and all that he did 6213 8804, and his might 1369, how he warred 3898 8738, and how he recovered 7725 8689 Damascus 1834, and Hamath 2574, [which belonged] to Judah 3063, for Israel 3478, are they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

14:29 And Jeroboam 3379 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1, [even] with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478; and Zachariah 2148 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.
