Dual Panel1In the second<8147> year<8141> of Joash<3060> son<1121> of Joahaz<3099> king<4428> of Israel<3478>, Amaziah<558> the son<1121> of Joash<3060> king<4428> of Judah<3063> became<4427> king<4427>.
2He was twenty-five<6242><2568> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> twenty-nine<6242><8672> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>. And his mother's<517> name<8034> was Jehoaddin<3086> of Jerusalem<3389>.
3He did<6213> right<3477> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, yet<7534> not like David<1732> his father<1>; he did<6213> according to all<3605> that Joash<3060> his father<1> had<7355> done<6213>.
4Only<7534> the high<1116> places<1116> were not taken<5493> away<5493>; the people<5971> still<5750> sacrificed<2076> and burned<6999> incense<6999> on the high<1116> places<1116>.
5Now it came<1961> about, as soon<3512> as the kingdom<4467> was firmly<2388> in his hand<3027>, that he killed<5221> his servants<5650> who had slain<5221> the king<4428> his father<1>.
6But the sons<1121> of the slayers<5221> he did not put<4191> to death<4191>, according to what is written<3789> in the book<5612> of the Law<8451> of Moses<4872>, as the LORD<3068> commanded<6680>, saying<559>, "The fathers<1> shall not be put<4191> to death<4191> for the sons<1121>, nor<3808> the sons<1121> be put<4191> to death<4191> for the fathers<1>; but each<376> shall be put<4191> to death<4191> for his own sin<2399>."
7He killed<5221> of Edom<112> in the Valley<1516> of Salt<4417> 10,000 <6235><505> and took<8610> Sela<5554> by war<4421>, and named<7121><8034> it Joktheel<3371> to this<2088> day<3117>.
8Then<227> Amaziah<558> sent<7971> messengers<4397> to Jehoash<3060>, the son<1121> of Jehoahaz<3059> son<1121> of Jehu<3058>, king<4428> of Israel<3478>, saying<559>, "Come<1980>, let us face<7200><6440> each other."
9Jehoash<3060> king<4428> of Israel<3478> sent<7971> to Amaziah<558> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, saying<559>, "The thorn<2336> bush<2336> which<834> was in Lebanon<3844> sent<7971> to the cedar<730> which<834> was in Lebanon<3844>, saying<559>, 'Give<5414> your daughter<1323> to my son<1121> in marriage<802>.' But there passed<5674> by a wild<7704> beast<2421> that was in Lebanon<3844>, and trampled<7429> the thorn<2336> bush<2336>.
10"You have indeed<5221> defeated<5221> Edom<112>, and your heart<3820> has become<5375> proud<5375>. Enjoy<3513> your glory<3513> and stay<3427> at home<1004>; for why<4100> should you provoke<1624> trouble<7463> so that you, even you, would fall<5307>, and Judah<3063> with you?"
11But Amaziah<558> would not listen<8085>. So Jehoash<3060> king<4428> of Israel<3478> went<5927> up; and he and Amaziah<558> king<4428> of Judah<3063> faced<7200><6440> each other at Beth-shemesh<1053>, which<834> belongs to Judah<3063>.
12Judah<3063> was defeated<5062> by Israel<3478>, and they fled<5127> each<376> to his tent<168>.
13Then Jehoash<3060> king<4428> of Israel<3478> captured<8610> Amaziah<558> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, the son<1121> of Jehoash<3060> the son<1121> of Ahaziah<274>, at Beth-shemesh<1053>, and came<935> to Jerusalem<3389> and tore<6555> down<6555> the wall<2346> of Jerusalem<3389> from the Gate<8179> of Ephraim<669> to the Corner<6438> Gate<8179>, 400 <702><3967> cubits<520>.
14He took<3947> all<3605> the gold<2091> and silver<3701> and all<3605> the utensils<3627> which were found<4672> in the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>, and in the treasuries<214> of the king's<4428> house<1004>, the hostages<8594> also, and returned<7725> to Samaria<8111>.
15Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Jehoash<3060> which<834> he did<6213>, and his might<1369> and how<834> he fought<3898> with Amaziah<558> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>?
16So Jehoash<3060> slept<7901> with his fathers<1> and was buried<6912> in Samaria<8111> with the kings<4428> of Israel<3478>; and Jeroboam<3379> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
17Amaziah<558> the son<1121> of Joash<3060> king<4428> of Judah<3063> lived<2421> fifteen<2568><6240> years<8141> after<310> the death<4194> of Jehoash<3060> son<1121> of Jehoahaz<3059> king<4428> of Israel<3478>.
18Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Amaziah<558>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
19They conspired<7194> against<5921> him in Jerusalem<3389>, and he fled<5127> to Lachish<3923>; but they sent<7971> after<310> him to Lachish<3923> and killed<4191> him there<8033>.
20Then they brought<5375> him on horses<5483> and he was buried<6912> at Jerusalem<3389> with his fathers<1> in the city<5892> of David<1732>.
21All<3605> the people<5971> of Judah<3063> took<3947> Azariah<5838>, who<1931> was sixteen<8337><6240> years<8141> old<1121>, and made<4427> him king<4427> in the place<8478> of his father<1> Amaziah<558>.
22He built<1129> Elath<365> and restored<7725> it to Judah<3063> after<310> the king<4428> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>.
23In the fifteenth<2568><6240> year<8141> of Amaziah<558> the son<1121> of Joash<3060> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Joash<3060> king<4428> of Israel<3478> became<4427> king<4427> in Samaria<8111>, and reigned forty-one<705><259> years<8141>.
24He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>; he did not depart<5493> from all<3605> the sins<2403> of Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Nebat<5028>, which<834> he made Israel<3478> sin<2398>.
25He restored<7725> the border<1366> of Israel<3478> from the entrance<935> of Hamath<2574> as far<5704> as the Sea<3220> of the Arabah<6160>, according to the word<1697> of the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of Israel<3478>, which<834> He spoke<1696> through<3027> His servant<5650> Jonah<3124> the son<1121> of Amittai<573>, the prophet<5030>, who<834> was of Gath-hepher<1662>.
26For the LORD<3068> saw<7200> the affliction<6040> of Israel<3478>, which was very<3966> bitter<4784>; for there was neither<657> bond<6113> nor<657> free<5800>, nor<369> was there<369> any helper<5826> for Israel<3478>.
27The LORD<3068> did not say<1696> that He would blot<4229> out the name<8034> of Israel<3478> from under<8478> heaven<8064>, but He saved<3467> them by the hand<3027> of Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Joash<3060>.
28Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Jeroboam<3379> and all<3605> that he did<6213> and his might<1369>, how<834> he fought<3898> and how<834> he recovered<7725> for Israel<3478>, Damascus<1834> and Hamath<2574>, which had belonged to Judah<3063>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>?
29And Jeroboam<3379> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, even with the kings<4428> of Israel<3478>, and Zechariah<2148> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
