1 Amaziahwastwenty and five years old whenhe began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name wasJehoaddanof Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which wasright in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.25.3 established…: Heb. confirmed upon him4 But he slew not their children, but didas it iswritten in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORDcommanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 Moreover Amaziahgathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of theirfathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, ableto go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield. 6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talentsof silver. 7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORDisnot with Israel, to wit, withall the children of Ephraim. 8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down. 9 And Amaziahsaid to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talentswhich I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORDis able to give thee much more than this.25.9 army: Heb. band10 Then Amaziahseparated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.25.10 home again: Heb. to their place25.10 in great…: Heb. in heat of anger
11 And Amaziahstrengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seirten thousand. 12 And otherten thousand leftalive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziahsent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samariaeven unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.25.13 the soldiers…: Heb. the sons of the band
14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziahwas come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to behis gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. 15 Wherefore the anger of the LORDwas kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand? 16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the kingsaid unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.25.16 determined: Heb. counselled
17 Then Amaziahking of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face. 18 And Joashking of Israel sent to Amaziahking of Judah, saying, The thistle that wasin Lebanonsent to the cedar that wasin Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that wasin Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.25.18 thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn25.18 a wild…: Heb. a beast of the field19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thinehurt, that thou shouldest fall, eventhou, and Judah with thee? 20 But Amaziahwould not hear; for it cameof God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom. 21 So Joashthe king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, bothhe and Amaziahking of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongethto Judah. 22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.25.22 put…: Heb. smitten23 And Joashthe king of Israel took Amaziahking of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalemfrom the gate of Ephraimto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.25.23 the corner…: Heb. the gate of it that looketh24 And he tookall the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 And Amaziahthe son of Joashking of Judah lived after the death of Joashson of Jehoahazking of Israel fifteen years. 26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, arethey not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Now after the time that Amaziahdid turn away from following the LORDthey made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachishafter him, and slew him there.25.27 from…: Heb. from after25.27 made…: Heb. conspired a conspiracy28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.25.28 Judah: that is, the city of David
