2 Chronicles 25:1-28

Amaziah
<0558>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[when] he began to reign
<04427> (8804)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
twenty
<06242>
and nine
<08672>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Jehoaddan
<03086>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but not with a perfect
<08003>
heart
<03824>_.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom
<04467>
was established
<02388> (8804)
to him, that he slew
<02026> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
that had killed
<05221> (8688)
the king
<04428>
his father
<01>_.
{established...: Heb. confirmed upon him}
But he slew
<04191> (8689)
not their children
<01121>_,
but [did] as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
in the book
<05612>
of Moses
<04872>_,
where the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The fathers
<01>
shall not die
<04191> (8799)
for the children
<01121>_,
neither shall the children
<01121>
die
<04191> (8799)
for the fathers
<01>_,
but every man
<0376>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
for his own sin
<02399>_.
Moreover Amaziah
<0558>
gathered
<06908> (0)
Judah
<03063>
together
<06908> (8799)_,
and made
<05975> (8686)
them captains
<08269>
over thousands
<0505>_,
and captains
<08269>
over hundreds
<03967>_,
according to the houses
<01004>
of [their] fathers
<01>_,
throughout all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_:
and he numbered
<06485> (8799)
them from twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and above
<04605>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
them three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
choice
<0977> (8803)
[men, able] to go forth
<03318> (8802)
to war
<06635>_,
that could handle
<0270> (8802)
spear
<07420>
and shield
<06793>_.
He hired
<07936> (8799)
also an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
mighty
<01368>
men of valour
<02428>
out of Israel
<03478>
for an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_.
But there came
<0935> (8804)
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
O king
<04428>_,
let not the army
<06635>
of Israel
<03478>
go
<0935> (8799)
with thee; for the LORD
<03068>
[is] not with Israel
<03478>_,
[to wit, with] all the children
<01121>
of Ephraim
<0669>_.
But if thou wilt go
<0935> (8798)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
[it], be strong
<02388> (8798)
for the battle
<04421>_:
God
<0430>
shall make thee fall
<03782> (8686)
before
<06440>
the enemy
<0341> (8802)_:
for God
<0430>
hath
<03426>
power
<03581>
to help
<05826> (8800)_,
and to cast down
<03782> (8687)_.
And Amaziah
<0558>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
But what shall we do
<06213> (8800)
for the hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
to the army
<01416>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
able to give
<05414> (8800)
thee much more
<07235> (8687)
than this. {army: Heb. band}
Then Amaziah
<0558>
separated
<0914> (8686)
them, [to wit], the army
<01416>
that was come
<0935> (8804)
to him out of Ephraim
<0669>_,
to go
<03212> (0)
home
<04725>
again
<03212> (8800)_:
wherefore their anger
<0639>
was greatly
<03966>
kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and they returned
<07725> (8799)
home
<04725>
in great
<02750>
anger
<0639>_.
{home again: Heb. to their place} {in great...: Heb. in heat of anger}
And Amaziah
<0558>
strengthened
<02388> (8694)
himself, and led forth
<05090> (8799)
his people
<05971>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to the valley
<01516>
of salt
<04417>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
of the children
<01121>
of Seir
<08165>
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>_.
And [other] ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
[left] alive
<02416>
did the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
carry away captive
<07617> (8804)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto the top
<07218>
of the rock
<05553>_,
and cast them down
<07993> (8686)
from the top
<07218>
of the rock
<05553>_,
that they all were broken in pieces
<01234> (8738)_.
But the soldiers
<01121>
of the army
<01416>
which Amaziah
<0558>
sent back
<07725> (8689)_,
that they should not go
<03212> (8800)
with him to battle
<04421>_,
fell
<06584> (8799)
upon the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
from Samaria
<08111>
even unto Bethhoron
<01032>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
of them, and took
<0962> (8799)
much
<07227>
spoil
<0961>_.
{the soldiers...: Heb. the sons of the band}
Now it came to pass, after
<0310>
that Amaziah
<0558>
was come
<0935> (8800)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of the Edomites
<0130>_,
that he brought
<0935> (8686)
the gods
<0430>
of the children
<01121>
of Seir
<08165>_,
and set them up
<05975> (8686)
[to be] his gods
<0430>_,
and bowed down
<07812> (8691)
himself before
<06440>
them, and burned incense
<06999> (8762)
unto them.
Wherefore the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Amaziah
<0558>_,
and he sent
<07971> (8799)
unto him a prophet
<05030>_,
which said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why hast thou sought
<01875> (8804)
after the gods
<0430>
of the people
<05971>_,
which could not deliver
<05337> (8689)
their own people
<05971>
out of thine hand
<03027>_?
And it came to pass, as he talked
<01696> (8763)
with him, that [the king] said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Art thou made
<05414> (8804)
of the king's
<04428>
counsel
<03289> (8802)_?
forbear
<02308> (8798)_;
why shouldest thou be smitten
<05221> (8686)_?
Then the prophet
<05030>
forbare
<02308> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
that God
<0430>
hath determined
<03289> (8804)
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
thee, because thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
this, and hast not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto my counsel
<06098>_.
{determined: Heb. counselled}
Then Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
took advice
<03289> (8735)_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
to Joash
<03101>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehu
<03058>_,
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
let us see one another
<07200> (8691)
in the face
<06440>_.
And Joash
<03101>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The thistle
<02336>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>
sent
<07971> (8804)
to the cedar
<0730>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
thy daughter
<01323>
to my son
<01121>
to wife
<0802>_:
and there passed by
<05674> (8799)
a wild
<07704>
beast
<02416>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,
and trode down
<07429> (8799)
the thistle
<02336>_.
{thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild...: Heb. a beast of the field}
Thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,
Lo, thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)
the Edomites
<0123>_;
and thine heart
<03820>
lifteth thee up
<05375> (8804)
to boast
<03513> (8687)_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
now at home
<01004>_;
why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)
to [thine] hurt
<07451>_,
that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804)_,
[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>
with thee?
But Amaziah
<0558>
would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
for it [came] of God
<0430>_,
that he might deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
[of their enemies], because they sought
<01875> (8804)
after the gods
<0430>
of Edom
<0123>_.
So Joash
<03101>
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went up
<05927> (8799)_;
and they saw one another
<07200> (8691)
in the face
<06440>_,
[both] he and Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.
And Judah
<03063>
was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_,
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
every man
<0376>
to his tent
<0168>_.
{put...: Heb. smitten}
And Joash
<03101>
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
took
<08610> (8804)
Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and brake down
<06555> (8799)
the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
from the gate
<08179>
of Ephraim
<0669>
to the corner
<06437> (8802)
gate
<08179>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
cubits
<0520>_.
{the corner...: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}
And [he took] all the gold
<02091>
and the silver
<03701>_,
and all the vessels
<03627>
that were found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
with Obededom
<05654>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
the hostages
<01121> <08594>
also, and returned
<07725> (8799)
to Samaria
<08111>_.
And Amaziah
<0558>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
lived
<02421> (8799)
after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Joash
<03101>
son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
fifteen
<02568> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Amaziah
<0558>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
behold, [are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_?
Now after the time
<06256>
that Amaziah
<0558>
did turn away
<05493> (8804)
from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>
they made
<07194> (8799)
a conspiracy
<07195>
against him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and he fled
<05127> (8799)
to Lachish
<03923>_:
but they sent
<07971> (8799)
to Lachish
<03923>
after
<0310>
him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
him there. {from...: Heb. from after} {made...: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
And they brought
<05375> (8799)
him upon horses
<05483>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
{Judah: that is, the city of David}
