1 Amaziahson of Joashbecame king of Judah in the second year of Jehoash’s rule in Israel. 2 Amaziah was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled 29 years from Jerusalem, which was also the hometown of his mother Jehoaddin.
3 Amaziah followed the example of his father Joashby obeying the Lordand doing right. But he was not as faithful as his ancestor David. 4 Amaziah did not destroy the local shrines, and they were still used as places for offering sacrifices.
5 As soon as Amaziah had control of Judah, he arrested and killed the officers who had murdered his father. 6 Dt 24.16.But the children of those officers were not killed. The Lordhad commanded in the Law of Mosesthat only the people who sinned were to be punished, not their parents or children.14.6 The Lord had commanded … children: See Deuteronomy 24.16.
7 While Amaziah was king, he killed 10,000 Edomite soldiers in Salt Valley. He captured the town of Selaand renamed it Joktheel, which is still its name.
8 One day, Amaziahsent a message to King Jehoashof Israel: "Come out and face me in battle!"
9 Jehoashsent back this reply:
Once upon a time, a small thornbush in Lebanonannounced that his son was going to marry the daughter of a large cedar tree. But a wild animal came along and trampled the small bush.
10 Amaziah, you think you’re so powerful because you defeated Edom. Go ahead and celebrate—but stay at home. If you cause any trouble, both you and your kingdom of Judah will be destroyed.
11 But Amaziahrefused to listen. So Jehoashand his troops marched to the town of Beth-Shemeshin Judah to attack Amaziahand his troops. 12 During the battle, Judah’s army was crushed. Every soldier from Judah ran back home, 13 and Jehoashcaptured Amaziah.
Jehoashthen marched to Jerusalemand broke down the city wall from Ephraim Gateto Corner Gate, a section nearly 200 meters long. 14 He took the gold and silver, as well as everything of value from the Lord's temple and the king’s treasury. He took hostages, then returned to Samaria.
15 Everything else Jehoashdid while he was king, including his brave deeds and how he defeated King Amaziahof Judah, is written in The History of the Kings of Israel. 16 Jehoashdied and was buried in Samariabeside the other Israelite kings. His son Jeroboamthen became king.
17 Fifteen years after Jehoashdied, 18-20 some people in Jerusalemplotted against Amaziah. He was able to escape to the town of Lachish, but another group of people caught him and killed him there. His body was taken back to Jerusalemon horseback and buried beside his ancestors.
Everything else Amaziahdid while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah. 21 After his death the people of Judah made his son Azariahking, even though he was only 16 at the time. 22 Azariah was the one who later recaptured and rebuilt the town of Elath.
King Jeroboam the Second of Israel
23 Jeroboamson of Jehoashbecame king of Israel in the fifteenth year of Amaziah’s rule in Judah. Jeroboamruled 41 years from Samaria. 24 He disobeyed the Lordby following the evil example of Jeroboamson of Nebat, who had caused the Israelites to sin.
25 Jon 1.1.Jeroboam extended the boundaries of Israel from Lebo-Hamath in the north to the Dead Seain the south, just as the Lordhad promised his servant Jonahson of Amittai, who was a prophet from Gath-Hepher. 26 The Lordhelped Jeroboam do this because he had seen how terribly the Israelites were suffering, whether slave or free, and no one was left to help them. 27 And since the Lordhad promised that he would not let Israel be completely destroyed, he helped Jeroboamrescue them.
28 Everything else Jeroboamdid while he was king, including his brave deeds and how he recaptured the towns of Damascusand Hamath,14.28 how he recaptured … Hamath: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.is written in The History of the Kings of Israel. 29 Jeroboamdied and was buried, and his son Zechariahbecame king.
