Amaziah
was twenty
and five
years
old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned
twenty
and nine
years
in Jerusalem.
And his mother's
name
was Jehoaddan
of Jerusalem.

And he did
that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD,
but not with a perfect
heart.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom
was established
to him, that he slew
his servants
that had killed
the king
his father.
But he slew
not their children,
but did as it is written
in the law
in the book
of Moses,
where the LORD
commanded,
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.
Moreover Amaziah
gathered
Judah
together,
and made
them captains
over thousands,
and captains
over hundreds,
according to the houses
of their fathers,
throughout all Judah
and Benjamin:
and he numbered
them from twenty
years
old
and above,
and found
them three
hundred
thousand
choice
men, able to go forth
to war,
that could handle
spear
and shield.

He hired
also an hundred

mighty
men of valour
out of Israel
for an hundred
talents
of silver.
But there came
a man
of God
to him, saying,
O king,
let not the army
of Israel
go
with thee; for the LORD
is not with Israel,
to wit, with all the children
of Ephraim.
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.

And Amaziah
said
to the man
of God,
But what shall we do
for the hundred
talents
which I have given
to the army
of Israel?
And the man
of God
answered,
The LORD
is
able to give
thee much more
than this.

Then Amaziah
separated
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.

And Amaziah
strengthened
himself, and led forth
his people,
and went
to the valley
of salt,
and smote
of the children
of Seir
ten
thousand.

And other ten
thousand
left alive
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.

But the soldiers
of the army
which Amaziah
sent back,
that they should not go
with him to battle,
fell
upon the cities
of Judah,
from Samaria
even unto Bethhoron,
and smote
three
thousand
of them, and took
much
spoil.

Now it came to pass, after
that Amaziah
was come
from the slaughter
of the Edomites,
that he brought
the gods
of the children
of Seir,
and set them up
to be his gods,
and bowed down
himself before
them, and burned incense
unto them.

Wherefore the anger
of the LORD
was 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?
Amasian
Αμασιαν

say
And it came to pass, as he talked
with him, that the king said
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.

Then Amaziah
king
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.
And Joash
king
of Israel
sent
to Amaziah
king
of Judah,
saying,
The thistle
that was in Lebanon
sent
to the cedar
that was in Lebanon,
saying,
Give
thy daughter
to my son
to wife:
and there passed by
a wild
beast
that was in Lebanon,
and trode down
the thistle.

Thou sayest,
Lo, thou hast smitten

and thine heart
lifteth thee up
to boast:
abide
now at home;
why shouldest thou meddle
to thine hurt,
that thou shouldest fall,
even thou, and Judah
with thee?
say
But Amaziah
would not hear;
for it came of God,
that he might deliver
them into the hand
of their enemies, because they sought
after the gods
of Edom.
So Joash
the king
of Israel
went up;
and they saw one another
in the face,
both he and Amaziah
king
of Judah,
at Bethshemesh,
which belongeth to Judah.
And Judah
was put to the worse
before
Israel,
and they fled
every man
to his tent.
And Joash
the king
of Israel
took
Amaziah
king
of Judah,
the son
of Joash,
the son
of Jehoahaz,
at Bethshemesh,
and brought
him to Jerusalem,
and brake down
the wall
of Jerusalem
from the gate
of Ephraim
to the corner
gate,
four
hundred
cubits.

And he took all the gold
and the silver,
and all the vessels
that were found
in the house
of God
with Obededom,
and the treasures
of the king's
house,
the hostages
also, and returned
to Samaria.

And Amaziah
the son
of Joash
king
of Judah
lived
after
the death
of Joash
son
of Jehoahaz
king
of Israel
fifteen
years.
Now the rest
of the acts
of Amaziah,
first
and last,
behold, are they not written
in the book
of the kings
of Judah
and Israel?
Now after the time
that Amaziah
did turn away
from following
the LORD
they made
a conspiracy
against him in Jerusalem;
and he fled
to Lachish:
but they sent
to Lachish
after
him, and slew
him there.

And they brought

and buried

in the city
