King James Version
In the second year of the
reign
of
Jehoash
son of Jehoahaz over
Israel ,
Amaziah son of Joash became
king of Judah.
In the second year of Joash
son of Jehoahaz king
of
Israel reigned
Amaziah the
son of Joash king of Judah.
He 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.
He was twenty and
five years old when he began
to
reign
, and reigned twenty and
nine years in
Jerusalem
. And
his mother's
name was Jehoaddan of
Jerusalem.
And he did what
was right in the eyes
of the LORD, but
not as
his father David
had
done.
He did everything
as his father Joash
had
done
.
And he did that
which
was right in the sight
of the LORD, yet
not like
David
his father :
he did according
to
all
things
as Joash
his father did
.
Nevertheless,
the high places were not taken away ,
and
the people continued
sacrificing
and burning
incense on the high places.
Howbeit
the high places were not taken away :
as
yet
the people did
sacrifice
and burnt
incense on the high places.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly
in his grasp
, Amaziah
executed
the
servants who
had murdered
his
father
the king.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as soon as the kingdom was confirmed
in his hand
, that
he
slew
his
servants which
had slain
the king his
father
.
Yet
he
did
not
put
the sons
of the murderers to
death,
but
acted
according to
what
is written in the Book of the Law 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. ”
But
the children
of the murderers he
slew
not:
according unto
that
which
is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein
the LORD commanded ,
saying,
The
fathers shall
not be put to death for the
children, nor
the
children be put to death for the
fathers; but
every
man
shall
be
put
to death
for his own sin.

of

in the valley of salt ten

Jehoash son of Jehoahaz ,
the
son of Jehu .
“
Come, let us meet
face
to
face ,”
he
said
.

one
another
in

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.
And
Jehoash the
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.
You
have
indeed defeated
Edom, and your
heart has
become
proud.
Glory in
that
and stay
at home .
Why should
you
stir
up
trouble
so
that you
fall —you
and Judah with you
? ”
Thou
hast
indeed smitten
Edom, and thine
heart hath
lifted
thee
up:
glory of
this,
and tarry
at home :
for
why shouldest
thou
meddle
to
thy
hurt,
that thou
shouldest
fall ,
even
thou,
and Judah with thee
?
