1: OldH1121 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 years oldH8141 [when] he became king,H4427 Amaziah [was]H0558 and twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 he reignedH4427 in Jerusalem.H3389 And nameH8034 of His motherH0517 [was] JehoaddanH3086 of Jerusalem.H3389
2: And he did [what was]H6213 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 butH7535 notH3808 with a heartH3824 loyal.H8003
3: And it came to pass,H1961 as soon asH0834 was establishedH2388 the kingdomH4467 for himH5921 that he executedH2026 -H0853 his servantsH5650 who had murderedH5221 -H0853 the kingH4428 his father.H0001
4: And HoweverH0853 their children,H1121 notH3808 he did executeH4191 but [did]H3588 as [it is] writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 in the BookH5612 of Moses,H4872 whereH0834 commanded,H6680 YahwehH3068 saying,H0559 notH3808 shall be put to deathH4191 the fathersH0001 forH5921 their children,H1121 and the sonsH1121 norH3808 shall be put to deathH4191 forH5921 their fathers,H0001 butH3588 a personH0376 for his own sinH2399 shall die.H4191
5: Moreover gathered togetherH6908 AmaziahH0558 -H0853 JudahH3063 and set over themH5975 according to housesH1004 [their] fathers',H0001 captainsH8269 of thousands,H0505 and captainsH8269 of hundreds,H3967 throughout allH3605 JudahH3063 and Benjamin-H1144 and he numbered themH6485 fromH1121 twentyH6242 years oldH8141 and above,H4605 and found them to beH4672 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH0505 choice [men]H0970 [able] to goH3318 to war,H6635 who could handleH0270 spearH7420 and shield.H6793
6: And He hiredH7936 from IsraelH3478 a hundredH3967 thousandH0505 mighty men ofH1368 valorH2428 for a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silver.H3701
7: But a manH0376 of GodH0430 cameH0935 to himH0413 saying,H0559 king,H4428 notH0408 do let goH0935 with youH5973 the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 forH3588 [is] notH0369 YahwehH3069 withH5973 Israel,H3478 [not with] anyH3605 of the sonsH1121 of Ephraim.H0669
8: ButH3588 ifH0518 go,H0935 youH0859 be goneH6213 Be strongH2388 in battle-H4421 shall make you fallH3782 [Even so] GodH0430 beforeH6440 the enemy-H0341 forH3588 hasH3426 powerH3581 GodH0430 to help,H5826 and to overthrow.H3782
9: And saidH0559 AmaziahH0558 to the manH0376 of God,H0430 but whatH4100 [shall we] doH6213 about hundredH3967 the talentsH3603 whichH0834 I have givenH5414 to the troops ofH1416 Israel?H3478 and answered,H0559 the manH0376 of GodH0430 is ableH3426 YahwehH3068 to giveH5414 much moreH7235 than this.H2088
10: So dischargedH0914 AmaziahH0558 the troopsH1416 thatH0834 had comeH0935 to himH0413 from EphraimH0669 to go backH1980 homeH4725 therefore was arousedH2734 their angerH0639 greatlyH3966 against Judah,H3063 and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 anger.H0639
11: And AmaziahH0558 strengthened himself,H2388 and leadingH5090 -H0853 his people,H5971 and he wentH1980 to the Valley of SaltH1516 of salt,H4417 and killedH5221 forH0854 of the sonsH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousand.H0505
12: And tenH6235 thousandH0505 aliveH2416 took captive,H7617 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 and brought themH0935 to the topH7218 of the rock,H5553 and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rock,H5553 so that they allH3605 were dashed in pieces.H1234
13: But as for the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 whichH0834 had discharged,H7725 AmaziahH0558 so that they would not goH1980 with himH5973 to battle,H4421 and they raidedH6584 the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 from SamariaH8111 and toH5704 Beth Horon,H1032 and killedH5221 in themH1992 threeH7969 thousandH0505 and tookH0962 spoilH0961 much.H7227
14: And it was so,H1961 afterH0310 cameH0935 AmaziahH0558 from the slaughterH5221 ofH0853 the Edomites,H0130 that he broughtH0935 -H0853 the godsH0430 of the sonsH1121 of Seir,H8165 and set them up [to be]H5975 gods,H0430 and before themH6440 bowed downH7812 burned incense.H6999
15: Therefore was arousedH2734 the angerH0639 of YahwehH3068 against Amaziah,H0558 and He sentH7971 himH0413 a prophet,H5030 and who saidH0559 whyH4100 have you soughtH1875 -H0853 the godsH0430 of the people,H5971 whichH0834 notH3808 could rescueH5337 -H0853 their own peopleH5971 from your hand?H3027
16: so it was,H1961 as he talkedH1696 with himH0413 that [the king] saidH0559 have counselor?H3289 of the kingH4428 we made youH5414 Cease-H2308 whyH4100 should you be killed?H5221 and ceased,H2308 the prophetH5030 and said,H0559 I knowH3045 thatH3588 has determinedH3289 GodH0430 to destroy youH7843 becauseH3588 you have doneH6213 this,H2063 and notH3808 have heededH8085 my advice.H6098
17: And asked advice,H3289 AmaziahH0558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and sentH7971 toH0413 Joash,H3101 sonH1121 of Jehoahaz,H3059 the sonH1121 of Jehu,H3058 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 let us one another [in battle]H7200 face.H6440
18: And sentH7971 JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 AmaziahH0558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 saying,H0559 the thistleH2336 that [was]H0834 in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 toH0413 the cedarH0730 that wasH0834 in Lebanon,H3844 saying,H0559 GiveH5414 -H0853 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 as wife-H0802 and passed byH5674 a beastH2416 wildH7704 that [was]H0834 in Lebanon,H3844 and trampledH7429 -H0853 the thistle.H2336
19: You say,H0559 indeed,H2009 that you have defeatedH5221 -H0853 Edom-H0123 and is lifted upH5375 your heartH3820 to boast.H3513 NowH6258 StayH3427 at home-H1004 whyH4100 should you meddleH1624 with trouble,H7451 that you should fall,H5307 you,H0859 and JudahH3063 with you.H5973
20: But notH3808 would heed-H8085 AmaziahH0558 forH3588 from GodH0430 it [came]H1931 thatH4616 He might give themH5414 into the hand [of their enemies]H3027 becauseH3588 they soughtH1875 -H0853 the godsH0430 of Edom.H0123
21: So went out-H5927 JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and one anotherH7200 faced,H6440 heH1931 and AmaziahH0558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 Beth Shemesh,H1053 which [belongs]H0834 to Judah.H3063
22: And was defeatedH5062 JudahH3063 byH6440 Israel,H3478 and fledH5127 every manH0376 to his tent.H0168
23: AndH0853 AmaziahH0558 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of Jehoahaz,H3059 capturedH8610 Joash,H3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 Beth Shemesh,H1053 and he brought himH0935 to Jerusalem,H3389 and broke downH6555 the wall ofH2346 JerusalemH3389 from the GateH8179 of EphraimH0669 toH5704 Gate,H8179 the CornerH6437 fourH0702 hundredH3967 cubits.H0520
24: And [he took] allH3605 the goldH2091 and silver,H3701 andH0853 allH3605 the articlesH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH0430 withH5973 Obed-edom,H5654 andH0853 the treasuresH0214 of house,H1004 of the kingH4428 andH0853 the sonsH1121 hostagesH8594 and returnedH7725 to Samaria.H8111
25: And livedH2421 AmaziahH0558 sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 afterH0310 the deathH4191 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 [and] tenH6240 years.H8141
26: And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Amaziah,H0558 from firstH7223 and to last,H0314 [are] notH3808 indeedH2005 they writtenH3789 inH5921 the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and Israel?H3478
27: and after the timeH6256 thatH0834 turned awayH5493 AmaziahH0558 from followingH0310 YahwehH3068 and they madeH7194 against himH5921 a conspiracyH7195 in Jerusalem-H3389 and he fledH5127 to Lachish-H3923 but they sentH7971 after himH0310 to LachishH3923 and killed himH4191 there.H8033
28: And they brought himH5375 onH5921 horses,H5483 and buriedH6912 himH0853 withH5973 his fathersH0001 in the CityH5892 of Judah.H3063
