2 Chronicles 25:1 (KJV) King James Version

1 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4 But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
10 Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12 And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
1 Amaziah H558 was twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 twenty H6242 and nine H8672 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Jehoaddan H3086 of Jerusalem H4480 H3389 .
2 And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 but H7535 not H3808 with a perfect H8003 heart. H3824
3 Now it came to pass, H1961 when H834 the kingdom H4467 was established H2388 to H5921 him , that he slew H2026 H853 his servants H5650 that had killed H5221 H853 the king H4428 his father. H1
4 But he slew H4191 not H3808 their children, H1121 but H3588 did as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 in the book H5612 of Moses, H4872 where H834 the LORD H3068 commanded, H6680 saying, H559 The fathers H1 shall not H3808 die H4191 for H5921 the children, H1121 neither H3808 shall the children H1121 die H4191 for H5921 the fathers, H1 but H3588 every man H376 shall die H4191 for his own sin. H2399
5 Moreover Amaziah H558 gathered Judah together H6908 H853 H3063 , and made H5975 them captains H8269 over thousands, H505 and captains H8269 over hundreds, H3967 according to the houses H1004 of their fathers, H1 throughout all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin: H1144 and he numbered H6485 them from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H4480 H1121 and above, H4605 and found H4672 them three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand H505 choice H977 men, able to go forth H3318 to war, H6635 that could handle H270 spear H7420 and shield. H6793
6 He hired H7936 also a hundred H3967 thousand H505 mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 out of Israel H4480 H3478 for a hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver. H3701
7 But there came H935 a man H376 of God H430 to H413 him, saying, H559 O king, H4428 let not H408 the army H6635 of Israel H3478 go H935 with H5973 thee; for H3588 the LORD H3068 is not H369 with H5973 Israel, H3478 to wit, with all H3605 the children H1121 of Ephraim. H669
8 But H3588 if H518 thou H859 wilt go, H935 do H6213 it , be strong H2388 for the battle: H4421 God H430 shall make thee fall H3782 before H6440 the enemy: H341 for H3588 God H430 hath H3426 power H3581 to help, H5826 and to cast down. H3782
9 And Amaziah H558 said H559 to the man H376 of God, H430 But what H4100 shall we do H6213 for the hundred H3967 talents H3603 which H834 I have given H5414 to the army H1416 of Israel H3478 ? And the man H376 of God H430 answered, H559 The LORD H3068 is H3426 able to give H5414 thee much more H7235 than this H4480 H2088 .
10 Then Amaziah H558 separated H914 them, to wit , the army H1416 that H834 was come H935 to H413 him out of Ephraim H4480 H669 , to go H1980 home H4725 again : wherefore their anger H639 was greatly H3966 kindled H2734 against Judah, H3063 and they returned H7725 home H4725 in great H2750 anger. H639
11 And Amaziah H558 strengthened himself, H2388 and led forth H5090 H853 his people, H5971 and went H1980 to the valley H1516 of salt, H4417 and smote H5221 H853 of the children H1121 of Seir H8165 ten H6235 thousand. H505
12 And other ten H6235 thousand H505 left alive H2416 did the children H1121 of Judah H3063 carry away captive, H7617 and brought H935 them unto the top H7218 of the rock, H5553 and cast them down H7993 from the top H4480 H7218 of the rock, H5553 that they all H3605 were broken in pieces. H1234
13 But the soldiers H1121 of the army H1416 which H834 Amaziah H558 sent back, H7725 that they should not go H4480 H1980 with H5973 him to battle, H4421 fell upon H6584 the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 from Samaria H4480 H8111 even unto H5704 Beth- H1032 horon , and smote H5221 three H7969 thousand H505 of H4480 them , and took H962 much H7227 spoil. H961
14 Now it came to pass, H1961 after that H310 Amaziah H558 was come H935 from the slaughter H4480 H5221 H853 of the Edomites, H130 that he brought H935 H853 the gods H430 of the children H1121 of Seir, H8165 and set them up H5975 to be his gods, H430 and bowed down himself H7812 before H6440 them , and burned incense H6999 unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Amaziah, H558 and he sent H7971 unto H413 him a prophet, H5030 which said H559 unto him, Why H4100 hast thou sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of the people, H5971 which H834 could not H3808 deliver H5337 H853 their own people H5971 out of thine hand H4480 H3027 ?
16 And it came to pass, H1961 as he talked H1696 with H413 him , that the king said H559 unto him , Art thou made H5414 of the king's H4428 counsel H3289 ? forbear; H2308 why H4100 shouldest thou be smitten H5221 ? Then the prophet H5030 forbore, H2308 and said, H559 I know H3045 that H3588 God H430 hath determined H3289 to destroy H7843 thee, because H3588 thou hast done H6213 this, H2063 and hast not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto my counsel. H6098
17 Then Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah H3063 took advice, H3289 and sent H7971 to H413 Joash, H3101 the son H1121 of Jehoahaz, H3059 the son H1121 of Jehu, H3058 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Come, H1980 let us see one another H7200 in the face. H6440
18 And Joash H3101 king H4428 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 to H413 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559 The thistle H2336 that H834 was in Lebanon H3844 sent H7971 to H413 the cedar H730 that H834 was in Lebanon, H3844 saying, H559 Give H5414 H853 thy daughter H1323 to my son H1121 to wife: H802 and there passed by H5674 a wild H7704 beast H2416 that H834 was in Lebanon, H3844 and trod down H7429 H853 the thistle. H2336
19 Thou sayest, H559 Lo, H2009 thou hast smitten H5221 H853 the Edomites; H123 and thine heart H3820 lifteth thee up H5375 to boast: H3513 abide H3427 now H6258 at home; H1004 why H4100 shouldest thou meddle H1624 to thine hurt, H7451 that thou shouldest fall, H5307 even thou, H859 and Judah H3063 with H5973 thee?
20 But Amaziah H558 would not H3808 hear; H8085 for H3588 it H1931 came of God H4480 H430 , that H4616 he might deliver H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies , because H3588 they sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of Edom. H123
21 So Joash H3101 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 went up; H5927 and they saw one another H7200 in the face, H6440 both he H1931 and Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 at Beth- H1053 shemesh, which H834 belongeth to Judah. H3063
22 And Judah H3063 was put to the worse H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 and they fled H5127 every man H376 to his tent. H168
23 And Joash H3101 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 took H8610 Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 the son H1121 of Joash, H3101 the son H1121 of Jehoahaz, H3059 at Beth- H1053 shemesh , and brought H935 him to Jerusalem, H3389 and broke down H6555 the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 from the gate H4480 H8179 of Ephraim H669 to H5704 the corner H6438 gate, H8179 four H702 hundred H3967 cubits. H520
24 And he took all H3605 the gold H2091 and the silver, H3701 and H853 all H3605 the vessels H3627 that were found H4672 in the house H1004 of God H430 with H5973 Obed- H5654 edom , and the treasures H214 of the king's H4428 house, H1004 H853 the hostages H1121 H8594 also , and returned H7725 to Samaria. H8111
25 And Amaziah H558 the son H1121 of Joash H3101 king H4428 of Judah H3063 lived H2421 after H310 the death H4194 of Joash H3101 son H1121 of Jehoahaz H3059 king H4428 of Israel H3478 fifteen H2568 H6240 years. H8141
26 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Amaziah, H558 first H7223 and last, H314 behold, H2009 are they not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 ?
27 Now after the time H4480 H6256 that H834 Amaziah H558 did turn away H5493 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 they made H7194 a conspiracy H7195 against H5921 him in Jerusalem; H3389 and he fled H5127 to Lachish: H3923 but they sent H7971 to Lachish H3923 after H310 him , and slew H4191 him there. H8033
28 And they brought H5375 him upon H5921 horses, H5483 and buried H6912 him with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of Judah. H3063
