1 In the second year of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] reigned Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother’s name [was] Y’ho’adan [Yehovah delights] of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

3 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), yet not like David [beloved] his father: he did according to all things as Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] his father did.

4 However the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he killed his servants which had slain the king his father.

6 But the children of the murderers he killed not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], wherein the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

7 He killed of Edom [Red] in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela [the rocks] [the rock] by war, and called the name of it Yokte’el [The Blessedness of God] unto this day.

8 Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] sent messengers to Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord], the son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] son of Yehu [Yehovah is He], king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

9 And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sent to Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying, The thistle that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness] sent to the cedar that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], saying, Give youri daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], and trampled down the thistle.

10 youi have indeed smitten Edom [Red], and youri heart has lifted youi up: glory [of this], and wait at home: for why should youi meddle to [youri] hurt, that youi should fall, [even] youi, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] with youi?

11 But Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] would not hear. Therefore Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went up; and he and Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] looked one another in the face at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], which [belongs] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

12 And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] was put to the worse before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and they fled every man to their tents.

13 And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] took Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], the son of Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] the son of Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and came to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from the gate of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] unto the corner gate, six hundred feet long.

14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the treasures of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Shomron [watch mountain].

15 Now the rest of the acts of Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?

16 And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] slept with his fathers, and was buried in Shomron [watch mountain] with the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and Yarov’am [the people will contend] his son reigned in his stead.

17 And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] lived after the death of Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fifteen years.

18 And the rest of the acts of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty], [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]?

19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and he fled to Lakhish [Invincible]; but they sent after him to Lakhish [Invincible], and killed him there.

20 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with his fathers in the city of David [beloved].

21 And all the people of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped], which [was] sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty].

22 He built Eilat [Grove of Lofty Trees], and restored it to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], after that the king slept with his fathers.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] began to reign in Shomron [watch mountain], [and reigned] forty and one years.

24 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he departed not from all the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin.

25 He restored the coast of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from the entering of Hamat [Fortress] unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which he spoke by the hand of his servant Yonah [dove], the son of Amitai [my truth], the prophet, which [was] of Gat-Hefer [the winepress of digging].

26 For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) saw the affliction of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [that it was] very bitter: for [there was] not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

27 And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said not that he would blot out the name of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord].

28 Now the rest of the acts of Yarov’am [the people will contend], and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and Hamat [Fortress], [which belonged] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?

29 And Yarov’am [the people will contend] slept with his fathers, [even] with the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] [the Lord recalled] his son reigned in his place.
