2 Kings 14:1-23

14:1

In the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03099>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

14:2

He was twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

twenty
<06242>

and nine
<08672>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jehoaddan
<03086>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

14:3

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

yet
<07535>

not like David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

he did
<06213> (8804)

according to all things as Joash
<03101>

his father
<01>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

14:4

Howbeit the high places
<01116>

were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_:

as yet
<05750>

the people
<05971>

did sacrifice
<02076> (8764)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8764)

on the high places
<01116>_.

14:5

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
<04467>

was confirmed
<02388> (8804)

in his hand
<03027>_,

that he slew
<05221> (8686)

his servants
<05650>

which had slain
<05221> (8688)

the king
<04428>

his father
<01>_.

14:6

But the children
<01121>

of the murderers
<05221> (8688)

he slew
<04191> (8689)

not: according unto that which is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

wherein the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The fathers
<01>

shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the children
<01121>_,

nor the children
<01121>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the fathers
<01>_;

but every man
<0376>

shall be put to death
<04191> (8799)

for his own sin
<02399>_.

14:7

He slew
<05221> (8689)

of Edom
<0123>

in the valley
<01516>

of salt
<04417>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>_,

and took
<08610> (8804)

Selah
<05554>

by war
<04421>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of it Joktheel
<03371>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Selah: or, the rock}

14:8

Then Amaziah
<0558>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to Jehoash
<03060>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us look
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>_.

14:9

And Jehoash
<03060>

the 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
<05674> (8799)

by a wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and trode down
<07429> (8799)

the thistle
<02336>_.

14:10

Thou hast indeed
<05221> (8687)

smitten
<05221> (8689)

Edom
<0123>_,

and thine heart
<03820>

hath lifted thee up
<05375> (8804)_:

glory
<03513> (8734)

[of this], and tarry
<03427> (8798)

at home
<01004>_:

for why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)

to [thy] hurt
<07451>_,

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

[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>

with thee? {at home: Heb. at thy house}

14:11

But Amaziah
<0558>

would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

Therefore Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and he and Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

looked
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.

14:12

And Judah
<03063>

was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

every man
<0376>

to their tents
<0168>_.

{put...: Heb. smitten}

14:13

And Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

took
<08610> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_,

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and brake down
<06555> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

from the gate
<08179>

of Ephraim
<0669>

unto the corner
<06438>

gate
<08179>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_.

14:14

And he took
<03947> (8804)

all the gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

that were found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and hostages
<01121> <08594>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.

14:15

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoash
<03060>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

and how he fought
<03898> (8738)

with Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

14:16

And Jehoash
<03060>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>

with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Jeroboam
<03379>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

14:17

And Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

lived
<02421> (8799)

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Jehoash
<03060>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

14:18

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Amaziah
<0558>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

14:19

Now 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)

after
<0310>

him to Lachish
<03923>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him there.

14:20

And they brought
<05375> (8799)

him on horses
<05483>_:

and he was buried
<06912> (8735)

at Jerusalem
<03389>

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

14:21

And all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

Azariah
<05838>_,

which [was] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

instead of his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>_.

{Azariah: also called, Uzziah}

14:22

He built
<01129> (8804)

Elath
<0359>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

it to Judah
<03063>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

slept
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_.

14:23

In the fifteenth
<02568> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] forty
<0705>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>_.
