2 Chronicles 25:15-28

25:15

Wherefore the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Amaziah
<0558>_,

and he sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him a prophet
<05030>_,

which said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou sought
<01875> (8804)

after the gods
<0430>

of the people
<05971>_,

which could not deliver
<05337> (8689)

their own people
<05971>

out of thine hand
<03027>_?

25:16

And it came to pass, as he talked
<01696> (8763)

with him, that [the king] said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Art thou made
<05414> (8804)

of the king's
<04428>

counsel
<03289> (8802)_?

forbear
<02308> (8798)_;

why shouldest thou be smitten
<05221> (8686)_?

Then the prophet
<05030>

forbare
<02308> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that God
<0430>

hath determined
<03289> (8804)

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

thee, because thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this, and hast not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto my counsel
<06098>_.

{determined: Heb. counselled}

25:17

Then Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

took advice
<03289> (8735)_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

to Joash
<03101>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us see one another
<07200> (8691)

in the face
<06440>_.

25:18

And Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The thistle
<02336>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>

sent
<07971> (8804)

to the cedar
<0730>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

thy daughter
<01323>

to my son
<01121>

to wife
<0802>_:

and there passed by
<05674> (8799)

a wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and trode down
<07429> (8799)

the thistle
<02336>_.

{thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild...: Heb. a beast of the field}

25:19

Thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,

Lo, thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)

the Edomites
<0123>_;

and thine heart
<03820>

lifteth thee up
<05375> (8804)

to boast
<03513> (8687)_:

abide
<03427> (8798)

now at home
<01004>_;

why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)

to [thine] hurt
<07451>_,

that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804)_,

[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>

with thee?

25:20

But Amaziah
<0558>

would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;

for it [came] of God
<0430>_,

that he might deliver
<05414> (8800)

them into the hand
<03027>

[of their enemies], because they sought
<01875> (8804)

after the gods
<0430>

of Edom
<0123>_.

25:21

So Joash
<03101>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and they saw one another
<07200> (8691)

in the face
<06440>_,

[both] he and Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.

25:22

And Judah
<03063>

was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

every man
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

{put...: Heb. smitten}

25:23

And Joash
<03101>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

took
<08610> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and brake down
<06555> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

from the gate
<08179>

of Ephraim
<0669>

to the corner
<06437> (8802)

gate
<08179>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_.

{the corner...: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}

25:24

And [he took] all the gold
<02091>

and the silver
<03701>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

that were found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

with Obededom
<05654>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

the hostages
<01121> <08594>

also, and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.

25:25

And Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

lived
<02421> (8799)

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Joash
<03101>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

25:26

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Amaziah
<0558>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

behold, [are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>_?

25:27

Now after the time
<06256>

that Amaziah
<0558>

did turn away
<05493> (8804)

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>

they made
<07194> (8799)

a conspiracy
<07195>

against him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and he fled
<05127> (8799)

to Lachish
<03923>_:

but they sent
<07971> (8799)

to Lachish
<03923>

after
<0310>

him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

him there. {from...: Heb. from after} {made...: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}

25:28

And they brought
<05375> (8799)

him upon horses
<05483>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

him with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{Judah: that is, the city of David}
