1
Amaziah
was twenty-five
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
twenty-nine
years
in Jerusalem.
And his mother's
name
was Jehoaddan
of Jerusalem.
2
He did
right
in the sight
of the LORD,
yet
not with a whole
heart.
3
Now it came
about as soon
as the kingdom
was firmly in his grasp,
that he killed
his servants
who had slain
his father
the king.
4
However, he did not put
their children
to death
,
but did as it is written
in the law
in the book
of Moses,
which
the LORD
commanded,
saying,
"Fathers
shall not be put
to death
for
sons
,
nor
sons
be put
to death
for fathers,
but each
shall
be put
to death
for his own sin."
5
Moreover, Amaziah
assembled
Judah
and appointed
them according to their fathers'
househ
old
s
under commanders
of thousands
and commanders
of hundreds
throughout
Judah
and Benjamin;
and he took a census
of those from twenty
years
old
and upward
and found
them to be 300,000
choice
men, able to go
to war
and handle
spear
and shield.
6
He hired
also 100,000
valiant
warriors
out of Israel
for one hundred
talents
of silver.
7
But a man
of God
came
to him saying,
"O king,
do not let the army
of Israel
go
with you, for the LORD
is not with Israel
nor with any
of the sons
of Ephraim.
8
"But if
you
do
go,
do
it, be strong
for the battle;
yet God
will bring
you
do
wn
before
the enemy,
for God
has
power
to help
and to bring
do
wn."
9
Amaziah
said
to the man
of God
,
"But what
shall we do
for the hundred
talents
which
I have given
to the troops
of Israel?"
And the man
of God
answered,
"The LORD
has
much more
to give
you than
this."
10
Then Amaziah
dismissed
them, the troops
which
came
to him from Ephraim,
to go
home
;
so their anger
burned
against Judah
and they returned
home
in fierce
anger.
11
Now Amaziah
strengthened
himself and led
his people
forth,
and went
to the Valley
of Salt
and struck down
10,000
of the sons
of Seir.
12
The sons
of Judah
also captured
10,000
alive
and brought
them to the top
of the cliff
and threw them down
from the top
of the cliff
,
so that they were all
dashed to pieces.
13
But the troops
whom
Amaziah
sent back
from going
with him to battle,
raided
the cities
of Judah,
from Samaria
to Beth-horon,
and struck down
3,000
of them and plundered
much
spoil.
14
Now after
Amaziah
came
from slaughtering
the Edomites,
he brought
the gods
of the sons
of Seir,
set
them up as his gods,
bowed down
before
them and burned incense
to them.
15
Then the anger
of the LORD
burned
against Amaziah,
and He sent
him a prophet
who
said
to him, "Why
have you sought
the gods
of the people
who
have not delivered
their own people
from your hand?"
16
As he was talking
with him, the king said
to him, "Have we appointed
you a royal
counselor?
Stop!
Why
should you be struck down?"
Then the prophet
stopped
and said,
"I know
that God
has planned
to destroy
you, because
you have done
this
and have not listened
to my counsel."
17
Then Amaziah
king
of Judah
took counsel
and sent
to Joash
the son
of Jehoahaz
the son
of Jehu,
the
king
of Israel,
saying,
"Come,
let us face
each other."
18
Joash
the
king
of Israel
sent
to Amaziah
king
of Judah,
saying,
"The thorn
bush
which
was in Lebanon
sent
to the cedar
which
was in Lebanon
,
saying,
'Give
your daughter
to my son
in marriage.'
But there passed
by a wild
beast
that
was in Lebanon
and trampled
the thorn
bush
.
19
"You said,
'Behold,
you have defeated
Edom.'
And your heart
has become proud
in boasting.
Now
stay
at home;
for why
should you provoke
trouble
so that you, even you, would fall
and Judah
with you?"
20
But Amaziah
would not listen,
for it was from God,
that He might deliver
them into the hand
of Joash because
they had sought
the gods
of Edom.
21
So Joash
king
of Israel
went
up, and he and Amaziah
king
of Judah
faced
each other at Beth-shemesh,
which
belonged to Judah.
22
Judah
was defeated
by Israel,
and they fled
each
to his tent.
23
Then Joash
king
of Israel
captured
Amaziah
king
of Judah,
the son
of Joash
the son
of Jehoahaz,
at Beth-shemesh,
and brought
him to Jerusalem
and tore down
the wall
of Jerusalem
from the Gate
of Ephraim
to the Corner
Gate,
400
cubits.
24
He took all
the gold
and silver
and all
the utensils
which 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.
25
And Amaziah,
the
son
of Joash
king
of Judah,
lived
fifteen
years
after
the death
of Joash
,
son
of Jehoahaz,
king
of Israel.
26
Now the rest
of the acts
of Amaziah,
from first
to last,
behold,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Kings
of Judah
and Israel?
27
From the time
that Amaziah
turned away
from following
the LORD
they conspired
against
him in Jerusalem,
and he fled
to Lachish;
but they sent
after
him to Lachish
and killed
him there.
28
Then they brought
him on horses
and buried
him with his fathers
in the city
of Judah.
