Moreover
the LORD
stirred up against Jehoram
the spirit of
the Philistines, and of
the Arabians, that were near
the Ethiopians:
Then the LORD
stirred against Jehoram
the spirit of
the Philistines and Arabs who lived near
the Cushites.
And
they came up into Judah, and
brake into it, and carried away all
the substance that was found in
the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that
there was never a son left him, save
Jehoahaz,
the youngest of his sons.
So
they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all
the possessions found in
the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except
Jehoahaz, his youngest.
And after all this
the LORD
smote him in his
bowels with an incurable disease.
After all this,
the LORD
afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of
the bowels.
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after
the end of two years, his
bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of
sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like
the burning of his fathers.
This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired.
Howbeit they buried him in
the city of David, but not in
the sepulchres of
the kings.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s
regret, and was buried in
the City of David, but not in
the tombs of
the kings.
And
the inhabitants of Jerusalem made
Ahaziah his youngest son king in his
stead: for
the band of men that came with
the Arabians to
the camp had slain all
the eldest. So
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
Then the people of Jerusalem made
Ahaziah,
the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since
the raiders who had come into
the camp with
the Arabs had killed all
the older sons. So
Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
Forty and two years old was
Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was
Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was
Athaliah,
the granddaughter of Omri.
He also walked in
the ways of
the house of
Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
Ahaziah also walked in
the ways of
the house of
Ahab, for his mother was his
counselor in wickedness.
Wherefore he did evil in
the sight of
the LORD like
the house of
Ahab: for
they were his counsellors after
the death of his father to his destruction.
And he did evil in
the sight of
the LORD, as
the house of
Ahab had done, for to his destruction
they were his counselors after
the death of his father.
He walked also after
their counsel, and went with Jehoram
the son of
Ahab king of Israel to war against
Hazael king of Syria at
Ramoth-
gilead: and
the Syrians
smote Joram.
And he returned to be
healed in
Jezreel because of
the wounds which were given him at
Ramah, when he fought with
Hazael king of Syria. And
Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram
the son of
Ahab at
Jezreel, because he was sick.
so he returned to
Jezreel to recover from
the wounds
they had inflicted on him at
Ramah when he fought against
Hazael king of
Aram.
Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to
Jezreel to visit
Joram son of
Ahab, because
Joram had been wounded.
And
the destruction of
Ahaziah was of God by coming to
Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against
Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom
the LORD had
anointed to cut off
the house of
Ahab.
And it came to pass, that, when
Jehu was
executing judgment upon
the house of
Ahab, and found
the princes of Judah, and
the sons of
the brethren of
Ahaziah, that ministered to
Ahaziah, he
slew them.
So while
Jehu was
executing judgment on
the house of
Ahab, he found
the rulers of Judah and
the sons of
Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving
Ahaziah, and he killed
them.
And he sought
Ahaziah: and
they caught him, (for he was
hid in Samaria,) and brought him to
Jehu: and when
they had slain him,
they buried him: Because, said
they, he is
the son of
Jehoshaphat, who sought
the LORD with all his heart. So
the house of
Ahaziah had no power to keep still
the kingdom.
Then Jehu looked for
Ahaziah, and
Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So
Ahaziah was brought to
Jehu and put to death.
They buried him, for
they said, “He is
the grandson of
Jehoshaphat, who sought
the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from
the house of
Ahaziah with
the strength to rule
the kingdom.
But when
Athaliah the mother of
Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all
the seed royal of
the house of Judah.
When
Athaliah the mother of
Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to
annihilate all
the royal heirs of
the house of Judah.
But Jehoshabeath,
the daughter of
the king, took
Joash the son of
Ahaziah, and
stole him from among
the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his
nurse in a
bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath,
the daughter of king Jehoram,
the wife of Jehoiada
the priest, (for she was
the sister of
Ahaziah,)
hid him from
Athaliah, so that she
slew him not.
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took
Joash son of
Ahaziah and
stole him away from among
the sons of
the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his
nurse in a
bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath,
the daughter of King Jehoram and
the wife of Jehoiada
the priest, was
Ahaziah’s sister, she
hid Joash from
Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
And he was with
them hid in
the house of God six years: and
Athaliah reigned over
the land.
And
Joash remained hidden with
them in
the house of God for six years while
Athaliah ruled
the land.
And in
the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took
the captains of hundreds,
Azariah the son of Jeroham, and
Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and
Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah
the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat
the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
Then in
the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself and made a covenant with
the commanders of hundreds—with
Azariah son of Jeroham,
Ishmael son of Jehohanan,
Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
So they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the heads of the families of Israel. And when they came to Jerusalem,
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. “Behold, the king’s son!” said Jehoiada. “He must reign, just as the LORD promised concerning the descendants of David.
This is
the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on
the sabbath, of
the priests and of
the Levites, shall be
porters of
the doors;
This is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who come on duty on the Sabbath shall keep watch at the doors,
And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
a third shall be at the royal palace, and a third at the Foundation Gate, while all the others are in the courtyards of the house of the LORD.
But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
No one is to enter the house of the LORD except the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the LORD.
And
the Levites shall compass
the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and
whosoever else cometh into
the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with
the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
The Levites must
surround the king with weapons in hand, and
anyone who enters
the temple must be put to death. You must stay close to
the king wherever he goes.”
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
So the Levites and all Judah did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—for Jehoiada the priest had not released any of the divisions.
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in the house of God.
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
He stationed all the troops, with their weapons in hand, surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
Then they brought out
the king’s son, and put upon him
the crown, and gave him
the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons
anointed him, and said, God save
the king.
Then Jehoiada and his sons brought out
the king’s son, put
the crown on him, presented him with
the Testimony, and proclaimed him king.
They anointed him and
shouted, “Long live
the king!”
Now when
Athaliah heard
the noise of
the people running and praising
the king, she came to
the people into
the house of
the LORD:
When
Athaliah heard
the noise of
the people running and
cheering the king, she went out to
them in
the house of
the LORD.
And she looked, and, behold,
the king stood at his
pillar at
the entering in, and
the princes and
the trumpets by
the king: and all
the people of
the land
rejoiced, and sounded with
trumpets, also
the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise.
Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
And she looked out and saw
the king standing by his
pillar at
the entrance.
The officers and trumpeters were beside
the king, and all
the people of
the land were
rejoicing and blowing
trumpets, while
the singers with musical instruments were leading
the praises.
Then Athaliah tore her clothes and
screamed, “Treason, treason!”
Then Jehoiada
the priest brought out
the captains of hundreds that were set over
the host, and said unto
them, Have her forth of
the ranges: and
whoso followeth her, let him be slain with
the sword. For
the priest said,
Slay her not in
the house of
the LORD.
And Jehoiada
the priest sent out
the commanders of hundreds in charge of
the army, saying, “Bring her out between
the ranks, and put to
the sword
anyone who follows her.” For
the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in
the house of
the LORD.”
So
they laid hands on her; and when she was come to
the entering of
the horse gate by
the king’s house,
they slew her
there.
So
they seized
Athaliah as she reached
the entrance of
the Horse Gate to
the palace grounds, and
there they put her to death.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’S people.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people.
Then all
the people went to
the house of
Baal, and
brake it down, and
brake his altars and his images in pieces, and
slew Mattan
the priest of
Baal before
the altars.
So all
the people went to
the temple of
Baal and
tore it down.
They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan
the priest of
Baal in front of
the altars.
Also Jehoiada appointed
the offices of
the house of
the LORD by
the hand of
the priests
the Levites, whom David had distributed in
the house of
the LORD, to offer
the burnt offerings of
the LORD, as it is written in
the law of Moses, with
rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
Moreover, Jehoiada put
the oversight of
the house of
the LORD into
the hands of
the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over
the house of
the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to
the LORD as is written in
the Law of Moses, with
rejoicing and song, as ordained by David.
And he set
the porters at
the gates of
the house of
the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
He stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that nothing unclean could enter for any reason.
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
He also took with him
the commanders of hundreds,
the nobles,
the rulers of
the people, and all
the people of
the land, and
they brought
the king down from
the house of
the LORD and entered
the royal palace through
the Upper Gate.
They seated King
Joash on
the royal throne,
And all
the people of
the land
rejoiced: and
the city was quiet, after that
they had slain
Athaliah with
the sword.
and all
the people of
the land
rejoiced. And
the city was quiet, because
Athaliah had been put to
the sword.
And
Joash did that which was right in
the sight of
the LORD all
the days of Jehoiada
the priest.
And
Joash did what was right in
the eyes of
the LORD all
the days of Jehoiada
the priest.
And it came to pass after this, that
Joash was minded to repair
the house of
the LORD.
Some time later,
Joash set his heart on repairing
the house of
the LORD.
And he gathered together
the priests and
the Levites, and said to
them, Go out unto
the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair
the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye
hasten the matter.
Howbeit the Levites
hastened it not.
So he gathered
the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to
the cities of Judah and collect
the money due annually from all Israel, to repair
the house of your God. Do it quickly.”
The Levites, however, did not make
haste.
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
For
the sons of
Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up
the house of God; and also all
the dedicated things of
the house of
the LORD did
they bestow upon
Baalim.
For
the sons of that wicked woman
Athaliah had broken into
the house of God and had even used
the sacred objects of
the house of
the LORD for
the Baals.
And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
And
they made a
proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to
the LORD
the collection that Moses
the servant of God laid upon Israel in
the wilderness.
And a
proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that
they were to bring to
the LORD
the tax imposed by Moses
the servant of God on Israel in
the wilderness.
And all
the princes and all
the people
rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into
the chest, until
they had made an end.
All
the officers and all
the people
rejoiced and brought
their contributions, and
they dropped
them in
the chest until it was full.
Now it came to pass, that at what time
the chest was brought unto
the king’s office by
the hand of
the Levites, and when
they saw that
there was much money,
the king’s
scribe and
the high priest’s officer came and
emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus
they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
Whenever
the chest was brought by
the Levites to
the king’s overseers and
they saw that
there was a large amount of money,
the royal
scribe and
the officer of
the high priest would come and empty
the chest and carry it back to its place.
They did this daily and gathered
the money in abundance.
And
the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did
the work of
the service of
the house of
the LORD, and
hired masons and carpenters to repair
the house of
the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to
mend the house of
the LORD.
Then the king and Jehoiada would give
the money to those who
supervised the labor on
the house of
the LORD to
hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore
the house of
the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair
the house of
the LORD.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
So
the workmen labored, and in
their hands
the repair work progressed.
They restored
the house of God according to its specifications, and
they reinforced it.
And when
they had finished it,
they brought
the rest of
the money before
the king and Jehoiada,
whereof were made vessels for
the house of
the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer
withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And
they offered burnt offerings in
the house of
the LORD continually all
the days of Jehoiada.
When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
Now after
the death of Jehoiada came
the princes of Judah, and made
obeisance to
the king.
Then the king
hearkened unto
them.
After
the death of Jehoiada, however,
the officials of Judah came and paid
homage to
the king, and he
listened to
them.
And
they left
the house of
the LORD God of
their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this
their trespass.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
Yet he sent prophets to
them, to bring
them again unto
the LORD; and
they testified against
them: but
they would not give ear.
Nevertheless,
the LORD sent prophets to bring
the people back to Him and to
testify against
them; but
they would not
listen.
And
the Spirit of God came upon
Zechariah the son of Jehoiada
the priest, which stood above
the people, and said unto
them, Thus saith God, Why
transgress ye
the commandments of
the LORD, that ye cannot
prosper? because ye have
forsaken the LORD, he hath also
forsaken you.
Then the Spirit of God came upon
Zechariah son of Jehoiada
the priest, who stood up before
the people and said to
them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you
transgress the commandments of
the LORD so that you cannot
prosper? Because you have
forsaken the LORD, He has
forsaken you.’”
And
they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at
the commandment of
the king in
the court of
the house of
the LORD.
Thus
Joash the king remembered not
the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but
slew his son. And when he died, he said,
The LORD look upon it, and require it.
Thus King
Joash failed to remember
the kindness that
Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead,
Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying,
Zechariah said, “May
the LORD see this and call you to account.”
And it came to pass at
the end of
the year, that
the host of Syria came up against him: and
they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all
the princes of
the people from among
the people, and sent all
the spoil of
them unto
the king of Damascus.
In
the spring,
the army of
Aram went to war against
Joash.
They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all
the leaders of
the people, and
they sent all
the plunder to
their king in Damascus.
For
the army of
the Syrians came with a small company of men, and
the LORD delivered a very great host into
their hand, because
they had
forsaken the LORD God of
their fathers. So
they executed judgment against
Joash.
Although
the Aramean army had come with only a few men,
the LORD delivered into
their hand a very great army. Because Judah had
forsaken the LORD,
the God of
their fathers, judgment was executed on
Joash.
And when
they were departed from him, (for
they left him in great diseases,) his own servants
conspired against him for
the blood of
the sons of Jehoiada
the priest, and
slew him on his bed, and he died: and
they buried him in
the city of David, but
they buried him not in
the sepulchres of
the kings.
And when
the Arameans had withdrawn,
they left
Joash severely wounded. His own servants
conspired against him for
shedding the blood of
the son of Jehoiada
the priest, and
they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in
the City of David, but not in
the tombs of
the kings.
And
these are
they that
conspired against him; Zabad
the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad
the son of Shimrith a
Moabitess.
Those who
conspired against
Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath
the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith
the Moabitess.
Now concerning his sons, and
the greatness of
the burdens laid upon him, and
the repairing of
the house of God, behold,
they are written in
the story of
the book of
the kings. And
Amaziah his son reigned in his
stead.
The accounts of
the sons of
Joash, as well as
the many pronouncements about him and about
the restoration of
the house of God, are indeed written in
the Treatise of
the Book of
the Kings. And his son
Amaziah reigned in his place.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
Now it came to pass, when
the kingdom was established to him, that he
slew his servants that had killed
the king his father.
As soon as
the kingdom was firmly in his
grasp,
Amaziah executed
the servants who had murdered his father
the king.
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.
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to 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.
Then Amaziah gathered
the people of Judah and assigned
them according to
their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in
the army, bearing
the spear and shield.
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 a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
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.
Even if you go and fight
bravely in battle, God will make you
stumble before
the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
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.
Amaziah asked
the man of God, “What should I do about
the hundred talents I have given to
the army of Israel?” And
the man of God replied, “
The LORD is able to give you 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.
So
Amaziah dismissed
the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent
them home. And
they were
furious with Judah and 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.
Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to
the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of
Seir,
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.
and
the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive.
They took
them to
the top of a
cliff and threw
them down so that all were
dashed to 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 Beth-horon, and
smote three thousand of
them, and took much
spoil.
Meanwhile
the troops that
Amaziah had dismissed from battle
raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon.
They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of
plunder.
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.
When
Amaziah returned from
the slaughter of
the Edomites, he brought back
the gods of
the Seirites, set
them up as his own gods, bowed before
them, and burned sacrifices to
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?
Therefore the anger of
the LORD burned against
Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver
them from your hand?”
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.
While he was still speaking,
the king asked, “Have we made you
the counselor to
the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So
the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not
heeded my advice.”
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.
Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to
the king of Israel Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz,
the son of
Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
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 thine
hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with
thee?
You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated
Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and
boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you
stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
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.
But
Amaziah would not
listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver
them into
the hand of Jehoash, because
they had sought
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 Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and
Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
And
Joash the king of Israel took
Amaziah king of Judah,
the son of
Joash,
the son of
Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and
brake down
the wall of Jerusalem from
the gate of Ephraim to
the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured
Amaziah king of Judah,
the son of
Joash,
the son of
Jehoahaz.
Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down
the wall of Jerusalem from
the Ephraim Gate to
the Corner Gate—a section of 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 Obed-
edom, and
the treasures of
the king’s house,
the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
He took all
the gold and silver and all
the articles found in
the house of God with Obed-
edom and in
the treasuries of
the royal palace, as well as some hostages.
Then he returned to Samaria.
Amaziah son of
Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after
the death of Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel.
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?
As for
the rest of
the acts of
Amaziah, from beginning to end, 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.
From
the time that
Amaziah turned from following
the LORD, a
conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to
Lachish. But men were sent after him to
Lachish, and
they killed him
there.
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
Then all
the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in
the room of his father
Amaziah.
All
the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father
Amaziah.
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that
the king
slept with his fathers.
Uzziah was
the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King
Amaziah rested with his fathers.
And he did that which was right in
the sight of
the LORD, according to all that his father
Amaziah did.
And he did what was right in
the eyes of
the LORD, just as his father
Amaziah had done.
And he sought God in
the days of
Zechariah, who had understanding in
the visions of God: and as long as he sought
the LORD, God made him to
prosper.
He sought God throughout
the days of
Zechariah, who
instructed him in
the fear of God. And as long as he sought
the LORD, God gave him success.
And he went forth and
warred against
the Philistines, and
brake down
the wall of
Gath, and
the wall of Jabneh, and
the wall of
Ashdod, and built cities about
Ashdod, and among
the Philistines.
Uzziah went out to
wage war against
the Philistines, and he
tore down
the walls of
Gath, Jabneh, and
Ashdod.
Then he built cities near
Ashdod and among
the Philistines.
And God helped him against
the Philistines, and against
the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-
baal, and
the Mehunims.
God helped him against
the Philistines, against
the Arabs living in Gur-
baal, and against
the Meunites.
And
the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to
the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as
the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
Also he built towers in
the desert, and
digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in
the low country, and in
the plains:
husbandmen also, and vine dressers in
the mountains, and in
Carmel: for he loved
husbandry.
Since he had much
livestock in
the foothills and in
the plain, he built towers in
the desert and
dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of
the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in
the hill country and in
the fertile fields.
Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to
the number of
their account by
the hand of Jeiel
the scribe and Maaseiah
the ruler, under
the hand of Hananiah, one of
the king’s captains.
Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel
the scribe and Maaseiah
the officer under
the direction of Hananiah, one of
the royal officers.
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
The total number of family leaders of
the mighty men of
valor was 2,600.
