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 when he was strongH2393, his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 to his destructionH7843: for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and wentH935 into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burn incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Let not the wiseH2450 man gloryH1984 in his wisdomH2451, neither let the mightyH1368 man gloryH1984 in his mightH1369, let not the richH6223 man gloryH1984 in his richesH6239:
But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not. {the house…: Heb. the house of my war}
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
A fool'sH3684 lipsH8193 enterH935 into contentionH7379, and his mouthH6310 callethH7121 for strokesH4112.
Then thine heartH3824 be lifted upH7311, and thou forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which brought thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;
It is an honourH3519 for a manH376 to ceaseH7674 from strifeH7379: but every foolH191 will be meddlingH1566.
He that passeth byH5674, and meddlethH5674 with strifeH7379 belonging not to him, is like one that takethH2388 a dogH3611 by the earsH241. {meddleth: or, is enraged}
PrideH1347 goeth beforeH6440 destructionH7667, and an haughtyH1363 spiritH7307 beforeH6440 a fallH3783.
OrG2228 whatG5101 kingG935, goingG4198 to makeG4820 warG4171 againstG1519 anotherG2087 kingG935, sittethG2523 notG3780 downG2523 firstG4412, and consultethG1011 whetherG1487 he beG2076 ableG1415 withG1722 tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meetG528 him that comethG2064 againstG1909 himG846 withG3326 twentyG1501 thousandG5505?
He that is of a proudH7342 heartH5315 stirreth upH1624 strifeH4066: but he that putteth his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be made fatH1878.
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
Behold, his soulH5315 which is lifted upH6075 is not uprightH3474 in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faithH530.
