Young's Literal Translation
Amaziah
was
twenty -
five years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine
years.
His
mother’s
name was
Jehoaddan ;
she
was
from
Jerusalem .
A
son
of
twenty and
five years hath
Amaziah
reigned
, and twenty
and
nine
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Jehoaddan of
Jerusalem ,
And he did
what
was
right in the eyes of the
LORD
, but
not wholeheartedly
.
and he doth
that
which
is
right in the eyes of Jehovah
--
only
, not with
a
perfect
heart
.
As
soon
as
the kingdom was
firmly
in
his grasp
, Amaziah
executed
the servants
who
had
murdered
his father the
king.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
when
the kingdom hath
been
strong
upon
him,
that
he
slayeth
his servants
, those
smiting
the king
his father ,
Yet
he did
not put their
sons
to death, but acted
according
to
what
is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where
the
LORD
commanded :
“
Fathers must
not be
put
to
death
for their
children
, and children
must
not be
put
to
death
for their
fathers ;
each is
to
die
for his own sin. ”
and
their
sons
he hath
not put to death, but `did'
as
is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom
Jehovah
commanded ,
saying,
`
Fathers do
not die
for sons
, and sons
die
not for fathers ,
but
each for his own sin they
die
. '
Then
Amaziah gathered
the
people
of
Judah and assigned
them according to their
families
to
commanders
of thousands and of hundreds .
And he numbered
those
twenty years of
age
or
older
throughout
Judah
and Benjamin
and
found
300
, 000
chosen men
able
to serve
in
the army
, bearing
the
spear and shield
.
And
Amaziah gathereth
Judah ,
and appointeth
them ,
according to the
house
of the
fathers,
for
heads
of
the
thousands ,
and for
heads
of the
hundreds ,
for
all
Judah
and Benjamin;
and
he inspecteth
them
from
a
son
of
twenty years and upward
, and
findeth
them
three
hundred
thousand
chosen ones,
going
forth
to the host
, holding
spear and target
.
He also
hired
100,000
mighty
warriors
from
Israel for
a hundred talents of silver .
And
he hireth
out
of
Israel a hundred thousand
mighty
ones
of
valour,
with
a
hundred
talents of silver ;
But
a man of God came
to
him and
said
, “
O king, do
not
let
the army
of Israel go with you,
for the
LORD
is not with Israel —not
with
any
of
the Ephraimites.
and
a man of God hath
come
in
unto
him, saying,
`
O king, the host
of Israel doth
not
go with thee;
for Jehovah
is not with Israel --
all
the sons
of
Ephraim;
Even
if you
go
and
fight
bravely
in
battle, God will
make
you
stumble before the
enemy, for God
has
power to help and power
to overthrow
. ”
but
if thou
art
going
--
do
`it',
be
strong
for
battle, God doth
cause
thee
to
stumble before an
enemy, for there
is
power in
God
to help ,
and to cause
to
stumble
. '
Amaziah asked
the man of God, “
What should
I
do about
the hundred talents I have given to the army
of Israel? ”
And the man of God replied
, “The
LORD
is
able
to give you
much
more
than this. ”
And
Amaziah saith
to
the man of God, `And
what --
to
do for
the hundred talents that
I have given to the troop
of Israel? '
And the man of God saith
, `Jehovah
hath
more
to give to
thee
than this. '
So
Amaziah dismissed
the troops
who
had
come to
him from Ephraim and
sent
them
home.
And they
were
furious
with
Judah and returned
home
in great
anger.
And
Amaziah separateth
them
--
for
the troop
that
hath
come in
unto
him from Ephraim to
go
to
their
own
place,
and their
anger
doth
burn
mightily
against
Judah ,
and they
turn
back
to
their
place
in the
heat
of
anger.
Amaziah ,
however
, summoned
his
strength
and led
his troops
to the Valley of Salt, where
he
struck
down
10,000
men
of Seir ,
And
Amaziah hath
strengthened
himself
, and leadeth
his people,
and
goeth
to the Valley of Salt, and
smiteth
the
sons
of Seir --
ten
thousand.
and the army
of Judah also
captured
10
, 000
men
alive.
They took
them to the top of a
cliff
and threw
them down
so
that
all were
dashed
to
pieces
.
And ten
thousand
alive
have
the sons
of Judah taken
captive
, and
they bring
them to the top of the
rock,
and cast
them from
the
top
of
the
rock,
and
all of
them
have
been
broken
.
Meanwhile
the troops
that Amaziah had
dismissed
from battle raided
the
cities of Judah, from Samaria to
Beth-horon .
They
struck
down
3
, 000
people
and carried
off
a
great
deal
of plunder
.
And
the sons
of
the
troop
that Amaziah hath
sent
back
from going
with
him
to
battle --
they
rush
against
cities of Judah, from Samaria even
unto
Beth-Horon, and smite
of them
three
thousand,
and
seize
much
prey
.
When
Amaziah
returned
from
the slaughter
of the Edomites, he brought
back
the gods of the Seirites
, set
them up
as
his
own
gods, bowed
before them, and burned
sacrifices
to them.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
after
the coming
in
of Amaziah
from
smiting
the Edomites, that
he bringeth
in
the gods of the sons
of
Seir
, and
establisheth
them to
him
for
gods, and
before them doth
bow
himself
, and to them he
maketh
perfume
.
Therefore
the anger of the
LORD
burned
against Amaziah, and He sent
him a prophet, who
said
, “
Why have
you
sought this
people’s
gods ,
which
could
not deliver
them
from
your
hand? ”
And
the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against Amaziah, and He sendeth
unto
him a prophet, and
he
saith
unto
him
, `
Why hast
thou
sought the
gods of
the
people
that
have
not delivered
their
people
out
of
thy
hand? '
While
he
was
still
speaking, the
king
asked
, “Have
we
made
you
the
counselor
to the king? Stop!
Why be
struck
down
? ”
So
the prophet stopped
, but
he
said
, “
I know
that God has
determined
to destroy you
, because you
have
done this and have
not heeded
my advice
. ”
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
his
speaking unto
him
, that
he
saith
to
him
, `For
a
counsellor
to the king have
we
appointed
thee
? cease
for
thee;
why do
they
smite
thee
? '
And
the prophet ceaseth
, and
saith
, `
I have
known
that God hath
counselled
to destroy thee
, because thou
hast
done this ,
and hast
not hearkened
to
my counsel
. '
Then
Amaziah king of Judah took
counsel and sent
word
to
the
king
of
Israel
Jehoash
son of Jehoahaz, the
son of Jehu .
“Come
, let
us
meet
face
to
face
, ”
he
said.
And
Amaziah king of Judah taketh
counsel ,
and sendeth
unto
Joash
son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king
of
Israel
, saying,
But
Jehoash
king of Israel replied
to
Amaziah king of Judah :
“A
thistle
in Lebanon sent a
message
to
a
cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘
Give your
daughter to my son in
marriage.’
Then
a wild
beast in Lebanon came
along
and trampled
the thistle
.
`Come,
we
look
one
another
in
the
face.'
And
Joash
king of Israel sendeth
unto
Amaziah king of Judah ,
saying,
`The
thorn
that
`is'
in Lebanon hath
sent unto
the
cedar that
`is'
in Lebanon, saying, Give thy
daughter to my son for
a wife;
and
pass
by
doth
a
beast of
the
field
that
`is'
in Lebanon ,
and treadeth
down
the thorn
.
You
have
said, ‘Look
, I have defeated
Edom ,’
and your
heart has
become
proud
and
boastful.
Now stay
at
home.
Why should
you
stir up trouble
so
that you
fall—you
and Judah with you
? ”
Thou
hast
said, Lo
, I have smitten
Edom ;
and thy
heart hath
lifted
thee
up
to
boast;
now ,
abide
in
thy
house,
why dost
thou
stir thyself
up in
evil,
that thou
hast
fallen,
thou,
and Judah with thee
? '
But
Amaziah would
not listen
, for this
had
come
from God in order to deliver
them into the
hand of
Jehoash
, because they had
sought the gods of Edom .
And
Amaziah hath
not hearkened
, for from God it
`is'
in order to give
them into hand, because they have
sought the gods of Edom ;
So
Jehoash
king of Israel advanced
, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced
each
other
at
Beth-shemesh in
Judah.
and
go
up
doth
Joash
king of Israel, and they
look
one
another
in
the
face,
he and Amaziah king of Judah ,
in
Beth-Shemesh ,
that
`is'
Judah's,
And Judah was
routed
before Israel, and every
man
fled
to his own
home
.
and Judah is
smitten
before Israel, and they
flee
--
each
to his tents
.
There
at
Beth-shemesh,
Jehoash
king
of
Israel
captured
Amaziah king of Judah, the
son of Joash, the
son of Jehoahaz .
Then
Jehoash
brought
him to Jerusalem and broke
down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim
Gate to
the Corner
Gate —a
section
of four hundred cubits .
And
Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz ,
hath
Joash
king
of
Israel
caught
in
Beth-Shemesh,
and
bringeth
him in
to Jerusalem ,
and breaketh
down in
the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of
Ephraim
unto
the gate of the
corner,
four hundred cubits ,
He
took
all the gold and silver and all the articles
found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in
the treasuries
of the royal
palace
, as
well
as
some
hostages.
Then
he
returned
to Samaria.
and
`taketh'
all the gold ,
and the
silver ,
and all the vessels
that
are
found in the house of God with Obed-Edom ,
and the treasures
of the house
of
the
king
, and
the
sons
of
the
pledges,
and
turneth
back
to Samaria.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived
for
fifteen
years
after the death of Jehoash
son of Jehoahaz king of Israel .
And
Amaziah son of Joash ,
king of Judah ,
liveth
after the death of Joash
son of Jehoahaz ,
king of Israel ,
fifteen
years;
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Amaziah, from
beginning
to
end
, are they not written in
the Book
of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
and
the rest of the matters
of Amaziah, the
first
and
the
last
, lo,
are they not written on
the books
of the kings of Judah and Israel?
From the time that Amaziah turned from following
the
LORD,
a conspiracy was
formed
against him in Jerusalem, and he fled
to Lachish .
But
men
were
sent
after him to Lachish, and they
killed
him there .
And
from the time that Amaziah hath
turned aside
from after
Jehovah
--
they
make
a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth
to Lachish ,
and
they
send
after him to Lachish, and put
him to
death
there ,
They
carried
him back
on horses and buried
him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
and
lift
him up
on the
horses ,
and bury
him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
