1 aIn the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, bAmaziah the son of Joash king of Judah became king.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 He did right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Only athe high places were not taken away; bthe people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5 Now it came about, as soon as the kingdom was firmly in his hand, that he 1akilled his servants who had slain the king his father.
6 But the sons of the 1slayers he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord commanded, saying, “aThe fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but beach shall be put to death for his own sin.”
7 He 1killed of Edom in athe Valley of Salt 10,000 and took bSela by war, and named it cJoktheel to this day.
8 aThen Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “bCome, let us face each other.”
9 Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “aThe 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.
10 “aYou have indeed 1defeated Edom, and byour heart has 2become proud. Enjoy your glory and stay at home; for why should you provoke trouble so that you, even you, would fall, and Judah with you?”
11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at aBeth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Judah was defeated 1by Israel, and athey fled each to his tent.
13 Then Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from athe Gate of Ephraim to bthe Corner Gate, 400 1cubits.
14 aHe took all the gold and silver and all the utensils which were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Jeroboam II Succeeds Jehoash in Israel
15 aNow 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?
16 So Jehoash slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.
Azariah (Uzziah) Succeeds Amaziah in Judah
17 aAmaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 They conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to aLachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
20 Then they brought him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
21 All the people of Judah took 1Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 aHe built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.
24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.
25 aHe restored the border of Israel from bthe entrance of Hamath as far as cthe Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which He spoke 1through His servant dJonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of eGath-hepher.
26 For the aLord saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; for bthere was neither bond nor free, nor was there any helper for Israel.
27 The aLord did not say 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.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did and his might, how he fought and how he recovered for Israel, aDamascus and bHamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
