Amaziah 558 [was] twenty 6242 and five 2568 years 8141 old 1121 [when] he began to reign, 4427-1 and he reigned 4427-1 twenty 6242 and nine 8672 years 8141 in Jerusalem. 3389 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Jehoaddan 3086 of Jerusalem. 3389 |
| 2 |
And he did 6213-4 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 but not with a perfect 8003 heart. 3824 |
| 3 |
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom 4467 was established 2388-1 to him, that he slew 2026-4 his servants 5650 that had killed 5221-56 the king 4428 his father. 1 |
| 4 |
But he slew 4191-52 not their children, 1121 but [did] as [it is] written 3789-7 in the law 8451 in the book 5612 of Moses, 4872 where the LORD 3068 commanded, 6680-14 saying, 559-2 The fathers 1 shall not die 4191-4 for the children, 1121 neither shall the children 1121 die 4191-4 for the fathers, 1 but every man 376 shall die 4191-4 for his own sin. 2399 |
| 5 |
Moreover Amaziah 558 gathered Judah 3063 together, 6908-4 and made 5975-55 them captains 8269 over thousands, 505 and captains 8269 over hundreds, 3967 according to the houses 1004 of [their] fathers, 1 throughout all Judah 3063 and Benjamin: 1144 and he numbered 6485-4 them from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and above, 4605 and found 4672-4 them three 7969 hundred 3967 thousand 505 choice 977-7 [men, able] to go forth 3318-6 to war, 6635 that could handle 270-6 spear 7420 and shield. 6793 |
| 6 |
He hired 7936-4 also an hundred 3967 thousand 505 mighty men 1368 of valour 2428 out of Israel 3478 for an hundred 3967 talents 3603 of silver. 3701 |
| 7 |
But there came 935-1 a man 376 of God 430 to him, saying, 559-2 O king, 4428 let not the army 6635 of Israel 3478 go 935-4 with thee; for the LORD 3068 [is] not with Israel, 3478 [to wit, with] all the children 1121 of Ephraim. 669 |
| 8 |
But if thou wilt go, 935-3 do 6213-3 [it], be strong 2388-3 for the battle: 4421 God 430 shall make thee fall 3782-55 before 6440 the enemy: 341-6 for God 430 hath 3426 power 3581 to help, 5826-2 and to cast down. 3782-53 |
| 9 |
And Amaziah 558 said 559-4 to the man 376 of God, 430 But what shall we do 6213-2 for the hundred 3967 talents 3603 which I have given 5414-1 to the army 1416 of Israel? 3478 And the man 376 of God 430 answered, 559-4 The LORD 3068 is 3426 able to give 5414-2 thee much more 7235-53 than this. |
| 10 |
Then Amaziah 558 separated 914-55 them, [to wit], the army 1416 that was come 935-1 to him out of Ephraim, 669 to go 3212-2 home 4725 again: wherefore their anger 639 was greatly 3966 kindled 2734-4 against Judah, 3063 and they returned 7725-4 home 4725 in great 2750 anger. 639 |
| 11 |
And Amaziah 558 strengthened 2388-98 himself, and led forth 5090-4 his people, 5971 and went 3212-4 to the valley 1516 of salt, 4417 and smote 5221-55 of the children 1121 of Seir 8165 ten 6235 thousand. 505 |
| 12 |
And [other] ten 6235 thousand 505 [left] alive 2416 did the children 1121 of Judah 3063 carry away captive, 7617-1 and brought 935-55 them unto the top 7218 of the rock, 5553 and cast them down 7993-55 from the top 7218 of the rock, 5553 that they all were broken in pieces. 1234-8 |
| 13 |
But the soldiers 1121 of the army 1416 which Amaziah 558 sent back, 7725-52 that they should not go 3212-2 with him to battle, 4421 fell 6584-4 upon the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 from Samaria 8111 even unto Bethhoron, 1032 and smote 5221-55 three 7969 thousand 505 of them, and took 962-4 much 7227 spoil. 961 |
| 14 |
Now it came to pass, after 310 that Amaziah 558 was come 935-2 from the slaughter 5221-53 of the Edomites, 130 that he brought 935-55 the gods 430 of the children 1121 of Seir, 8165 and set them up 5975-55 [to be] his gods, 430 and bowed down 7812-101 himself before 6440 them, and burned incense 6999-17 unto them. |
| 15 |
Wherefore the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734-4 against Amaziah, 558 and he sent 7971-4 unto him a prophet, 5030 which said 559-4 unto him, Why hast thou sought 1875-1 after the gods 430 of the people, 5971 which could not deliver 5337-52 their own people 5971 out of thine hand? 3027 |
| 16 |
And it came to pass, as he talked 1696-15 with him, that [the king] said 559-4 unto him, Art thou made 5414-1 of the king's 4428 counsel? 3289-6 forbear; 2308-3 why shouldest thou be smitten? 5221-55 Then the prophet 5030 forbare, 2308-4 and said, 559-4 I know 3045-1 that God 430 hath determined 3289-1 to destroy 7843-53 thee, because thou hast done 6213-1 this, and hast not hearkened 8085-1 unto my counsel. 6098 |
| 17 |
Then Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063 took advice, 3289-11 and sent 7971-4 to Joash, 3101 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz, 3059 the son 1121 of Jehu, 3058 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559-2 Come, 3212-3 let us see 7200-101 one another in the face. 6440 |
| 18 |
And Joash 3101 king 4428 of Israel 3478 sent 7971-4 to Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 saying, 559-2 The thistle 2336 that [was] in Lebanon 3844 sent 7971-1 to the cedar 730 that [was] in Lebanon, 3844 saying, 559-2 Give 5414-3 thy daughter 1323 to my son 1121 to wife: 802 and there passed by 5674-4 a wild 7704 beast 2416 that [was] in Lebanon, 3844 and trode down 7429-4 the thistle. 2336 |
| 19 |
Thou sayest, 559-1 Lo, thou hast smitten 5221-52 the Edomites; 123 and thine heart 3820 lifteth thee up 5375-1 to boast: 3513-53 abide 3427-3 now at home; 1004 why shouldest thou meddle 1624-101 to [thine] hurt, 7451 that thou shouldest fall, 5307-1 [even] thou, and Judah 3063 with thee? |
| 20 |
But Amaziah 558 would not hear; 8085-1 for it [came] of God, 430 that he might deliver 5414-2 them into the hand 3027 [of their enemies], because they sought 1875-1 after the gods 430 of Edom. 123 |
| 21 |
So Joash 3101 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 went up; 5927-4 and they saw 7200-101 one another in the face, 6440 [both] he and Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 at Bethshemesh, 1053 which [belongeth] to Judah. 3063 |
| 22 |
And Judah 3063 was put to the worse 5062-11 before 6440 Israel, 3478 and they fled 5127-4 every man 376 to his tent. 168 |
| 23 |
And Joash 3101 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 took 8610-1 Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 the son 1121 of Joash, 3101 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz, 3059 at Bethshemesh, 1053 and brought 935-55 him to Jerusalem, 3389 and brake down 6555-4 the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 from the gate 8179 of Ephraim 669 to the corner 6437-6 gate, 8179 four 702 hundred 3967 cubits. 520 |
| 24 |
And [he took] all the gold 2091 and the silver, 3701 and all the vessels 3627 that were found 4672-12 in the house 1004 of God 430 with Obededom, 5654 and the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house, 1004 the hostages 1121 8594 also, and returned 7725-4 to Samaria. 8111 |
| 25 |
And Amaziah 558 the son 1121 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Judah 3063 lived 2421-4 after 310 the death 4194 of Joash 3101 son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 king 4428 of Israel 3478 fifteen 2568 6240 years. 8141 |
| 26 |
Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Amaziah, 558 first 7223 and last, 314 behold, [are] they not written 3789-7 in the book 5612 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 and Israel? 3478 |
| 27 |
Now after the time 6256 that Amaziah 558 did turn away 5493-1 from following 310 the LORD 3068 they made 7194-4 a conspiracy 7195 against him in Jerusalem; 3389 and he fled 5127-4 to Lachish: 3923 but they sent 7971-4 to Lachish 3923 after 310 him, and slew 4191-55 him there. |
| 28 |
And they brought 5375-4 him upon horses, 5483 and buried 6912-4 him with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of Judah. 3063 |
