12_2KI_14_01 in the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah .
12_2KI_14_02 he was twenty And five years old when he began to reign , And reigned twenty And nine years in Jerusalem . And his mother's name [ was ] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem .
12_2KI_14_03 And he did [ that which was ] right in the sight of the LORD , yet not like David his Father : he did according to all things as Joash his Father did .
12_2KI_14_04 Howbeit the high places were not taken away : as yet the people did sacrifice And burnt incense on the high places .
12_2KI_14_05 And it came to pass , as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand , that he slew his servants which had slain the king his Father .
12_2KI_14_06 but the children of the murderers he slew not : according unto that which Is written in the book of the law of Moses , wherein the LORD 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 .
12_2KI_14_07 he slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand , And took Selah by war , And called the name of it Joktheel unto this day .
12_2KI_14_08 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash , the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu , king of Israel , saying , come , let us Look one another in the face .
12_2KI_14_09 And Jehoash the 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 .
12_2KI_14_10 thou hast indeed smitten Edom , And thine heart hath lifted thee up : glory [ of this ] , And tarry at home : for why shouldest thou meddle to [ thy ] hurt , that thou shouldest fall , [ even ] thou , And Judah with thee ?
12_2KI_14_11 but Amaziah would not hear . therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up ; And he And Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh , which [ belongeth ] to Judah .
12_2KI_14_12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel ; And they fled every man to their tents .
12_2KI_14_13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah , the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah , at Bethshemesh , And came to Jerusalem , And brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate , four hundred cubits .
12_2KI_14_14 And he took all the gold And silver , And all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD , And in the treasures of the king's house , And hostages , And returned to Samaria .
12_2KI_14_15 now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did , And his might , And how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah , [ are ] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
12_2KI_14_16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers , And was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel ; And Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead .
12_2KI_14_17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years .
12_2KI_14_18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah , [ are ] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
12_2KI_14_19 now they made A conspiracy against him in Jerusalem : And he fled to Lachish ; but they sent after him to Lachish , And slew him there .
12_2KI_14_20 And they brought him on horses : And he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David .
12_2KI_14_21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah , which [ was ] sixteen years old , And made him king instead of his Father Amaziah .
12_2KI_14_22 he built Elath , And restored it to Judah , after that the king slept with his fathers .
12_2KI_14_23 in the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria , [ And reigned ] forty And one years .
12_2KI_14_24 And he did [ that which was ] evil in the sight of the LORD : he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who made Israel to sin .
12_2KI_14_25 he restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain , according to the word of the LORD God of Israel , which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah , the son of Amittai , the prophet , which [ was ] of Gathhepher .
12_2KI_14_26 for the LORD saw the affliction of Israel , [ that it was ] very bitter : for [ there was ] not any shut up , nor any left , nor any helper for Israel .
12_2KI_14_27 And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven : but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash .
12_2KI_14_28 now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam , And all that he did , And his might , how he warred , And how he recovered Damascus , And Hamath , [ which belonged ] to Judah , for Israel , are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
12_2KI_14_29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers , [ even ] with the kings of Israel ; And Zachariah his son reigned in his stead .
