Amaziah Reigns over Judah
3
He
did right in the
sight of the
LORD,
yet not like
David his
father ; he
did according to
all that
Joash his
father had done.
5
Now it
came about, as
soon as the
kingdom was
firmly in his
hand, that he
killed his
servants who had
slain the
king his
father.
6
But the
sons of the
slayers he did not
put to
death, according to what is
written in the
book of the
Law of
Moses, as the
LORD commanded,
saying, " The
fathers shall not be
put to
death for the
sons,
nor the
sons be
put to
death for the
fathers ; but
each shall be
put to
death for his own
sin."

" You have
indeed defeated Edom, and your
heart has
become proud.
Enjoy your
glory and
stay at
home ; for
why should you
provoke trouble so that you, even you, would
fall, and
Judah with you?"
11
But
Amaziah would not
listen. So
Jehoash king of
Israel went up; and he and
Amaziah king of
Judah faced * each other at
Beth-shemesh,
which belongs to
Judah.
12
Judah was
defeated by
Israel, and they
fled each to his
tent.
14
He
took all the
gold and
silver and
all the
utensils which were
found in the
house of the
LORD, and in the
treasuries of the
king's house, the
hostages also, and
returned to
Samaria.
Jeroboam II Succeeds Jehoash in Israel
15
Now the
rest of the
acts of
Jehoash which he
did, and his
might and
how he
fought with
Amaziah king of
Judah, are they not
written in the
Book of the
Chronicles * of the
Kings of
Israel ?
Azariah (Uzziah) Succeeds Amaziah in Judah
18
Now the
rest of the
acts of
Amaziah, are they not
written in the
Book of the
Chronicles * of the
Kings of
Judah ?
20
Then they
brought him on
horses and he was
buried at
Jerusalem with his
fathers in the
city of
David.
24
He
did evil in the
sight of the
LORD ; he did not
depart from
all the
sins of
Jeroboam the
son of
Nebat,
which he made
Israel sin.
25
He
restored the
border of
Israel from the
entrance of
Hamath as
far as the
Sea of the
Arabah, according to the
word of the
LORD, the
God of
Israel,
which He
spoke through His
servant Jonah the
son of
Amittai, the
prophet,
who was of
Gath-hepher.
26
For the
LORD saw the
affliction of
Israel, which was
very bitter ; for there was
neither bond nor free,
nor was
there any
helper for
Israel.
27
The
LORD did not
say that He would
blot out the
name of
Israel from
under heaven, but He
saved them by the
hand of
Jeroboam the
son of
Joash.
Zechariah Reigns over Israel
28
Now the
rest of the
acts of
Jeroboam and
all that he
did and his
might,
how he
fought and
how he
recovered for
Israel,
Damascus and
Hamath, which had belonged to
Judah, are they not
written in the
Book of the
Chronicles * of the
Kings of
Israel ?

And
Jeroboam slept with his
fathers, even with the
kings of
Israel, and
Zechariah his
son became king in his
place.
