1 Amaziahson of Joashbegan to rule over Judah in the second year of the reign of King Jehoash14:1 Hebrew Joash, a variant spelling of Jehoash; also in 14:13, 23, 27.of Israel. 2 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalemtwenty-nine years. His mother was Jehoaddinfrom Jerusalem. 3 Amaziah did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, but not like his ancestor David. Instead, he followed the example of his father, Joash. 4 Amaziah did not destroy the pagan shrines, and the people still offered sacrifices and burned incense there.
5 When Amaziah was well established as king, he executed the officials who had assassinated his father. 6 However, he did not kill the children of the assassins, for he obeyed the command of the Lordas written by Mosesin the Book of the Law: "Parents must not be put to death for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their parents. Those deserving to die must be put to death for their own crimes."14:6 Deut 24:16.
7 Amaziah also killed 10,000 Edomitesin the Valley of Salt. He also conquered Selaand changed its name to Joktheel, as it is called to this day.
8 One day Amaziahsent messengers with this challenge to Israel’s king Jehoash, the son of Jehoahazand grandson of Jehu: "Come and meet me in battle!"14:8 Hebrew Come, let us look one another in the face.
9 But King Jehoashof Israel replied to King Amaziahof Judah with this story: "Out in the Lebanonmountains, a thistle sent a message to a mighty cedar tree: ‘Give your daughter in marriage to my son.’ But just then a wild animal of Lebanoncame by and stepped on the thistle, crushing it!
10 "You have indeed defeated Edom, and you are proud of it. But be content with your victory and stay at home! Why stir up trouble that will only bring disaster on you and the people of Judah?"
11 But Amaziahrefused to listen, so King Jehoashof Israel mobilized his army against King Amaziahof Judah. The two armies drew up their battle lines at Beth-shemeshin Judah. 12 Judah was routed by the army of Israel, and its army scattered and fled for home. 13 King Jehoashof Israel captured Judah’s king, Amaziahson of Joashand grandson of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. Then he marched to Jerusalem, where he demolished 600 feet14:13 Hebrew 400 cubits [180 meters].of Jerusalem’s wall, from the Ephraim Gateto the Corner Gate. 14 He carried off all the gold and silver and all the articles from the Temple of the Lord. He also seized the treasures from the royal palace, along with hostages, and then returned to Samaria.
15 The rest of the events in Jehoash’s reign and everything he did, including the extent of his power and his war with King Amaziahof Judah, are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.16 When Jehoashdied, he was buried in Samariawith the kings of Israel. And his son JeroboamII became the next king.
17 King Amaziahof Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of King Jehoashof Israel. 18 The rest of the events in Amaziah’s reign are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah.
19 There was a conspiracy against Amaziah’s life in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But his enemies sent assassins after him, and they killed him there. 20 They brought his body back to Jerusalemon a horse, and he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David.
21 All the people of Judah had crowned Amaziah’s sixteen-year-old son, Uzziah,14:21 Hebrew Azariah, a variant spelling of Uzziah.as king in place of his father, Amaziah. 22 After his father’s death, Uzziah rebuilt the town of Elathand restored it to Judah.
Jeroboam II Rules in Israel
23 JeroboamII, the son of Jehoash, began to rule over Israel in the fifteenth year of King Amaziah’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samariaforty-one years. 24 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboamson of Nebathad led Israel to commit. 25 Jeroboam II recovered the territories of Israel between Lebo-hamathand the Dead Sea,14:25 Hebrew the sea of the Arabah.just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised through Jonahson of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
26 For the Lordsaw the bitter suffering of everyone in Israel, and that there was no one in Israel, slave or free, to help them. 27 And because the Lordhad not said he would blot out the name of Israel completely, he used JeroboamII, the son of Jehoash, to save them.
28 The rest of the events in the reign of JeroboamII and everything he did—including the extent of his power, his wars, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascusand Hamath, which had belonged to Judah14:28 Or to Yaudi. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.—are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.29 When JeroboamII died, he was buried in Samaria14:29 As in some Greek manuscripts; Hebrew lacks he was buried in Samaria.with the kings of Israel. Then his son Zechariahbecame the next king.
