RF KI2 14:1 (B.C. 839) Reign of Amatziah over Judah.
In the second year of Jhoash king of Israel, Amatziah-ben-Jhoash began to reign in Judah.
RF KI2 14:2 He was twenty-five years old at his coronation, and was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years, and his mother's name was Jhoadin, of Jerusalem;
RF KI2 14:3 and he did right in the sight of the EVER-LIVING. Not, however, like his ancestor David, but exactly as his father Jhoash did.
RF KI2 14:4 Yet he did not take away the Columns—the people still offered sacrifice and incense at the Columns.
RF KI2 14:5 (B.C. 838.) Amatziah Executes his Fathers Murderers.
When he had fixed himself firmly in possession of the kingship, he executed those ministers of his father who had killed the king his father.
RF KI2 14:6 But he did not kill the sons of the murderers, because it is written in the law of Moses that the EVER-LIVING commanded, saying, "You shall not kill the parents on account of their children; and you shall not kill the children on account of their parents; a man shall only be killed for his own crime."
RF KI2 14:7 He defeated ten thousand of Edom and the Amalekites, and seized Sela by war, and called its name Jakthal to this day.
RF KI2 14:8 (B.C. 827.) Amatziah Challenges Jhoash to War.
Then Amatziah sent Ambassadors to Jhoash-ben-Jhoakaz—the descendant of Jehu, king of Israel, to say. "Come, let us see faces!"
RF KI2 14:9 (B.C. 826.) Jhoash Replies by and an Insulting Fable.
But Jhoash king of Israel sent to Amatziah king of Judah to say, "A bramble in Lebanon once sent to the cedar of Lebanon to say, 'Give your daughter to my son as a wife!' Then a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed and trod down the bramble!
RF KI2 14:10 You have defeated Edom, and so your heart rises in pride! But go home! Why should you excite trouble, and fall yourself, and all Judah with you?"
RF KI2 14:11 (B.C. 826.) Jhoash of Israel Captures Jerusalem.
Amatziah would not listen, however, but advanced against Jhoash king of Israel, and they saw each other's faces, he and Amatziah king of Judah, at Bethshemsh, which is in Judah,
RF KI2 14:12 where Judah was routed before Israel and everyone fled to his house.
RF KI2 14:13 And Amatziah-ben-Jhoash-ben-Akhaziah, king of Judah, was also captured by Jhoash king of Israel at Bethshemsh, who then advanced to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the corner gate,—four hundred cubits.
RF KI2 14:14 He also took all the gold and silver, and the furniture that he found in the Temple of the EVER-LIVING, or that was found in the Royal Palace, and his children for hostages. Then he returned to Shomeron.
RF KI2 14:15 For the other affairs of Jhoash, what he did, and his achievements, and how he fought with Amatziah, king of Judah, they are related in the history of events during the times of the Kings of Judah.
RF KI2 14:16 When Jhoash slept with his fathers, he was buried in Shomeron with the Kings of Israel, and Jerabam his son reigned after him.
RF KI2 14:17 (B.C. 810.) Amatziah of Judah Murdered.
Amatziah-ben-Joash, however, reigned over Judah after the death of Jhoash-ben-Akhaziah king of Israel for fifteen years.
RF KI2 14:18 But the other affairs of Amatziah are written in the history of events in the period of the Kings of Judah.
RF KI2 14:19 When they conspired against him in Jerusalem he fled to Lakish. But they sent after him to Lakish and murdered him there.
RF KI2 14:20 They, however, carried him with the horseman to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in the City of David.
RF KI2 14:21 (B.C. 810.) Azariah Reigns over Judah.
The people of Judah took Azariah, who was ten years old, and crowned him in place of his father Amatziah.
RF KI2 14:22 He built Ailath and restored it to Judah. The king afterwards slept with his fathers.
RF KI2 14:23 (B.C. 825.) Jerabam-ben-Joash Reigns over Israel.
In the fifteenth year of Amatziah-ben-Jhoash, king of Judah, Jerabam-ben-Jhoash, king of Israel, began to reign in Shomeron for forty-one years.
RF KI2 14:24 But he did wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING. He turned not from any of the sins of Jerabam-ben-Nebat, who caused the sin of Israel.
RF KI2 14:25 He restored the boundaries of Israel from Khamath to the Sea of the Desert, according to the promise of the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, which He promised by means of Jonah-ben-Amathai, the Preacher, who came from Gath-Khefer.
RF KI2 14:26 For the EVER-LIVING pitied the immeasurable miseries of Israel both without and within, when there was no ease for Israel.
RF KI2 14:27 The EVER-LIVING had not yet decided to blot the name of Israel from beneath the heavens, therefore He rescued it by the hand of Jerabam-ben-Joash.
RF KI2 14:28 For the other affairs of Jerabam, and all that he did, how he warred, and how he recaptured Damascus and Khamath of Judah to Israel, they are recorded in the history of events of the days of the kings of Israel.
RF KI2 14:29 Then Jerabam slept with his fathers—with the kings of Israel—and Zakariah his son reigned after him.
