2 Kings 14

1 Amaziah his good reign. 5 His justice on the murderers of his father. 7 His victory over Edom. 8 Amaziah, provoking Jehoash, is overcome and spoiled. 16 Jeroboam succeedeth Jehoash. 17 Amaziah slain by a conspiracy. 21 Azariah succeedeth him. 23 Jeroboam's wicked reign. 29 Zachariah succeedeth him.

 14:1 In the second 8147 year 8141 of Joash 3060 son 1121 of Joahaz 3099 king 4428 of Israel 3478, Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3060 king 4428 of Judah 3063 became 4427a king 4427a.

 14:2 He was twenty-five 6242 2568 years 8141 old 1121 when he became 4427a king 4427a, and he reigned 4427a twenty-nine 6242 8672 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother’s 517 name 8034 was Jehoaddin 3086 of Jerusalem 3389.

 14:3 He did 6213a right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, yet 7534 not like David 1732 his father 1; he did 6213a according to all 3605 that Joash 3060 his father 1 had 7355 done 6213a.

 14:4 Only 7534 the high 1116 places 1116 were not taken 5493 away 5493; the people 5971a still 5750 sacrificed 2076 and burned 6999 incense 6999 on the high 1116 places 1116.

 14:5 Now it came 1961 about, as soon 3512c as the kingdom 4467 was firmly 2388 in his hand 3027, that he killed 5221 his servants 5650 who had slain 5221 the king 4428 his father 1.

 14:6 But the sons 1121 of the slayers 5221 he did not put 4191 to death 4191, according to what is written 3789 in the book 5612 of the Law 8451 of Moses 4872, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680, saying 559, “The fathers 1 shall not be put 4191 to death 4191 for the sons 1121, nor 3808 the sons 1121 be put 4191 to death 4191 for the fathers 1; but each 376 shall be put 4191 to death 4191 for his own sin 2399.”

 14:7 ¶ He killed 5221 [of] Edom 112b in the Valley 1516 of Salt 4417 10,000 6235 505 and took 8610 Sela 5554 by war 4421, and named 7121 8034 it Joktheel 3371 to this 2088 day 3117.

 14:8 ¶ Then 227 Amaziah 558 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Jehoash 3060, the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 son 1121 of Jehu 3058, king 4428 of Israel 3478, saying 559, “Come 1980, let us face 7200 6440 each other.”

 14:9 Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 sent 7971 to Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, saying 559, “The thorn 2336 bush 2336 which 834 was in Lebanon 3844 sent 7971 to the cedar 730 which 834 was in Lebanon 3844, saying 559, ‘Give 5414 your daughter 1323 to my son 1121 in marriage 802.’ But there passed 5674a by a wild 7704 beast 2421b that was in Lebanon 3844, and trampled 7429 the thorn 2336 bush 2336.

 14:10 “You have indeed 5221 defeated 5221 Edom 112b, and your heart 3820 has become 5375 proud 5375. Enjoy 3513 your glory 3513 and stay 3427 at home 1004; for why 4100 should you provoke 1624 trouble 7463a so that you, even you, would fall 5307, and Judah 3063 with you?”

 14:11 ¶ But Amaziah 558 would not listen 8085. So Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 went 5927 up; and he and Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063 faced 7200 6440 each other at Beth-shemesh 1053, which 834 belongs to Judah 3063.

 14:12 Judah 3063 was defeated 5062 by Israel 3478, and they fled 5127 each 376 to his tent 168.

 14:13 Then Jehoash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 captured 8610 Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, the son 1121 of Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274, at Beth-shemesh 1053, and came 935 to Jerusalem 3389 and tore 6555 down 6555 the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 from the Gate 8179 of Ephraim 669 to the Corner 6438 Gate 8179, 400 702 3967 cubits 520.

 14:14 He took 3947 all 3605 the gold 2091 and silver 3701 and all 3605 the utensils 3627 which were found 4672 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and in the treasuries 214 of the king’s 4428 house 1004, the hostages 8594 also, and returned 7725 to Samaria 8111.

 14:15 ¶ Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Jehoash 3060 which 834 he did 6213a, and his might 1369 and how 834 he fought 3898a with Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

 14:16 So Jehoash 3060 slept 7901 with his fathers 1 and was buried 6912 in Samaria 8111 with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478; and Jeroboam 3379 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 14:17 ¶ Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3060 king 4428 of Judah 3063 lived 2421a fifteen 2568 6240 years 8141 after 310 the death 4194 of Jehoash 3060 son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 king 4428 of Israel 3478.

 14:18 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Amaziah 558, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

 14:19 They conspired 7194 against 5921 him in Jerusalem 3389, and he fled 5127 to Lachish 3923; but they sent 7971 after 310 him to Lachish 3923 and killed 4191 him there 8033.

 14:20 Then they brought 5375 him on horses 5483b and he was buried 6912 at Jerusalem 3389 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892b of David 1732.

 14:21 All 3605 the people 5971a of Judah 3063 took 3947 Azariah 5838, who 1931 [was] sixteen 8337a 6240 years 8141 old 1121, and made 4427a him king 4427a in the place 8478 of his father 1 Amaziah 558.

 14:22 He built 1129 Elath 365a and restored 7725 it to Judah 3063 after 310 the king 4428 slept 7901 with his fathers 1.

 14:23 ¶ In the fifteenth 2568 6240 year 8141 of Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3060 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Joash 3060 king 4428 of Israel 3478 became 4427a king 4427a in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] forty-one 705 259 years 8141.

 14:24 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did not depart 5493 from all 3605 the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398.

 14:25 He restored 7725 the border 1366 of Israel 3478 from the entrance 935 of Hamath 2574 as far 5704 as the Sea 3220 of the Arabah 6160, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, which 834 He spoke 1696 through 3027 His servant 5650 Jonah 3124 the son 1121 of Amittai 573, the prophet 5030, who 834 was of Gath-hepher 1662.

 14:26 For the LORD 3068 saw 7200 the affliction 6040a of Israel 3478, [which was] very 3966 bitter 4784; for there was neither 657 bond 6113 nor 657 free 5800a, nor 369 was there 369 any helper 5826 for Israel 3478.

 14:27 The LORD 3068 did not say 1696 that He would blot 4229a out the name 8034 of Israel 3478 from under 8478 heaven 8064, but He saved 3467 them by the hand 3027 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Joash 3060.

 14:28 ¶ Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Jeroboam 3379 and all 3605 that he did 6213a and his might 1369, how 834 he fought 3898a and how 834 he recovered 7725 for Israel 3478, Damascus 1834 and Hamath 2574, [which had belonged] to Judah 3063, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

 14:29 And Jeroboam 3379 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, even with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478, and Zechariah 2148a his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.
