AmaziahH558 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddanH3086 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdomH4467 was establishedH2388 to him, that he slewH2026 his servantsH5650 that had killedH5221 the kingH4428 his fatherH1. {established…: Heb. confirmed upon him}
But he slewH4191 not their childrenH1121, but did as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872, where the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, The fathersH1 shall not dieH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 dieH4191 for the fathersH1, but every manH376 shall dieH4191 for his own sinH2399.
Moreover AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 JudahH3063 togetherH6908, and madeH5975 them captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, according to the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, throughout all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: and he numberedH6485 them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, and foundH4672 them threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 choiceH977 men, able to go forthH3318 to warH6635, that could handleH270 spearH7420 and shieldH6793.
He hiredH7936 also an hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 men of valourH2428 out of IsraelH3478 for an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701.
But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
But if thou wilt goH935, doH6213 it, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast downH3782.
And AmaziahH558 saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we doH6213 for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414 to the armyH1416 of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 isH3426 able to giveH5414 thee much moreH7235 than this. {army: Heb. band}
Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639. {home again: Heb. to their place} {in great…: Heb. in heat of anger}
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
But the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 which AmaziahH558 sent backH7725, that they should not goH3212 with him to battleH4421, fellH6584 upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH961. {the soldiers…: Heb. the sons of the band}
Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them.
Wherefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, which saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which could not deliverH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thine handH3027?
And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the king saidH559 unto him, Art thou madeH5414 of the king'sH4428 counselH3289? forbearH2308; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determinedH3289 to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast not hearkenedH8085 unto my counselH6098. {determined: Heb. counselled}
Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took adviceH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us see one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440.
And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistleH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passed byH5674 a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844, and trode downH7429 the thistleH2336. {thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild…: Heb. a beast of the field}
Thou sayestH559, Lo, thou hast smittenH5221 the EdomitesH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boastH3513: abideH3427 now at homeH1004; why shouldest thou meddleH1624 to thine hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?
But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085; for it came of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemies, because they soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of EdomH123.
So JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927; and they saw one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440, both he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at BethshemeshH1053, which belongeth to JudahH3063.
And JudahH3063 was put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and they fledH5127 every manH376 to his tentH168. {put…: Heb. smitten}
And JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at BethshemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the cornerH6437 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. {the corner…: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}
And he took all the goldH2091 and the silverH3701, and all the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with ObededomH5654, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH1121+H8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478?
Now after the timeH6256 that AmaziahH558 did turn awayH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068 they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971 to LachishH3923 afterH310 him, and slewH4191 him there. {from…: Heb. from after} {made…: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
And they broughtH5375 him upon horsesH5483, and buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of JudahH3063. {Judah: that is, the city of David}

But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH3847 upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, which stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 GodH430, Why transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, he hath also forsakenH5800 you. {came…: Heb. clothed}
For all the godsH430 of the nationsH5971 are idolsH457: but the LORDH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064.
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And at that timeH6256 HananiH2607 the seerH7200 cameH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast reliedH8172 on the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and not reliedH8172 on the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, therefore is the hostH2428 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 escapedH4422 out of thine handH3027.
Were not the EthiopiansH3569 and the LubimsH3864 a hugeH7230 hostH2428, with veryH3966 manyH7235 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571? yet, because thou didst relyH8172 on the LORDH3068, he deliveredH5414 them into thine handH3027. {a huge: Heb. in abundance}
For the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 run to and froH7751 throughout the whole earthH776, to shew himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishlyH5528: therefore from henceforthH6258 thou shalt haveH3426 warsH4421. {to shew…: or, strongly to hold with them, etc}
And ye shall makeH3772 no leagueH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776; ye shall throw downH5422 their altarsH4196: but ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963: why have ye doneH6213 this?
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318 to meetH6440 him, and saidH559 to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826 the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157 them that hateH8130 the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891?
Their idolsH6091 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027.
They have mouthsH6310, but they speakH1696 not: eyesH5869 have they, but they seeH7200 not:
They have earsH241, but they hearH8085 not: nosesH639 have they, but they smellH7306 not:
They have handsH3027, but they handleH4184 not: feetH7272 have they, but they walkH1980 not: neither speakH1897 they through their throatH1627.
They that makeH6213 them are like unto them; so is every one that trustethH982 in them.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.
They that makeH3335 a graven imageH6459 are all of them vanityH8414; and their delectable thingsH2530 shall not profitH3276; and they are their own witnessesH5707; they seeH7200 not, nor knowH3045; that they may be ashamedH954. {delectable: Heb. desirable}
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
Who hath formedH3335 a godH410, or moltenH5258 a graven imageH6459 that is profitableH3276 for nothingH1115?
BelH1078 boweth downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopethH7164, their idolsH6091 were upon the beastsH2416, and upon the cattleH929: your carriagesH5385 were heavy loadenH6006; they are a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast.
They stoopH7164, they bow downH3766 togetherH3162; they couldH3201 not deliverH4422 the burdenH4853, but themselvesH5315 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {themselves: Heb. their soul}
Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertainH2969: forasmuch as among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like unto thee. {to…: or, it liketh thee}
