2 Kings 14

The Message Bible MSG

1 In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddin. She was from Jerusalem.

3 He lived the way God wanted and did the right thing. But he didn't come up to the standards of his ancestor David; instead he lived pretty much as his father Joash had;

4 the local sex-and-religion shrines continued to stay in business with people frequenting them.

5 When he had the affairs of the kingdom well in hand, he executed the palace guard that had assassinated his father the king.

6 But he didn't kill the sons of the assassins. He was obedient to what God commanded, written in the Word revealed to Moses, that parents shouldn't be executed for their children's sins, nor children for those of their parents. We each pay personally for our sins.

7 Amaziah roundly defeated Edom in the Valley of Salt to the tune of ten thousand dead. In another battle he took The Rock and renamed it Joktheel, the name it still bears.

8 One day Amaziah sent envoys to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, challenging him to a fight: "Come and meet with me - I dare you. Let's have it out face to face!"

9 Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah, "One day a thistle in Lebanon sent word to a cedar in Lebanon, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' But then a wild animal of Lebanon passed by and stepped on the thistle, crushing it.

10 Just because you've defeated Edom in battle, you now think you're a big shot. Go ahead and be proud, but stay home. Why press your luck? Why bring defeat on yourself and Judah?"

11 Amaziah wouldn't take No for an answer. So Jehoash king of Israel gave in and agreed to a battle between him and Amaziah king of Judah. They met at Beth Shemesh, a town of Judah.

12 Judah was thoroughly beaten by Israel - all their soldiers ran home in defeat.

13 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. But Jehoash didn't stop there; he went on to attack Jerusalem. He demolished the wall of Jerusalem all the way from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate - a stretch of about 600 feet.

14 He looted the gold, silver, and furnishings - anything he found that was worth taking - from both the palace and The Temple of God. And, for good measure, he took hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.

15 The rest of the life and times of Jehoash, his significant accomplishments and the fight with Amaziah king of Judah, are all written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

16 Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria in the cemetery of the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam became the next king.

17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah continued as king fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.

18 The rest of the life and times of Amaziah is written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

19 At the last they cooked up a plot against Amaziah in Jerusalem and he had to flee to Lachish. But they tracked him down in Lachish and killed him there.

20 They brought him back on horseback and buried him in Jerusalem, with his ancestors in the City of David.

21 Azariah - he was only sixteen years old at the time - was the unanimous choice of the people of Judah to succeed his father Amaziah as king.

22 Following his father's death, he rebuilt and restored Elath to Judah.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel in Samaria. He ruled for forty-one years.

24 As far as God was concerned he lived an evil life, never deviating an inch from all the sin of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who led Israel into a life of sin.

25 But he did restore the borders of Israel to Lebo Hamath in the far north and to the Dead Sea in the south, matching what God, the God of Israel, had pronounced through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

26 God was fully aware of the trouble in Israel, its bitterly hard times. No one was exempt, whether slave or citizen, and no hope of help anywhere was in sight.

27 But God wasn't yet ready to blot out the name of Israel from history, so he used Jeroboam son of Jehoash to save them.

28 The rest of the life and times of Jeroboam, his victories in battle and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath which had belonged to Judah, these are all written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

29 Jeroboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the royal cemetery. His son Zechariah became the next king.

1 anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israhel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iuda

2 viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Ioaden de Hierusalem

3 et fecit rectum coram Domino verumtamen non ut David pater eius iuxta omnia quae fecit Ioas pater suus fecit

4 nisi hoc tantum quod excelsa non abstulit adhuc enim populus immolabat et adolebat in excelsis

5 cumque obtinuisset regnum percussit servos suos qui interfecerant regem patrem suum

6 filios autem eorum qui occiderant non occidit iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Mosi sicut praecepit Dominus dicens non morientur patres pro filiis neque filii morientur pro patribus sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur

7 ipse percussit Edom in valle Salinarum decem milia et adprehendit Petram in proelio vocavitque nomen eius Iecethel usque in praesentem diem

8 tunc misit Amasias nuntios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz filii Hieu regis Israhel dicens veni et videamus nos

9 remisitque Ioas rex Israhel ad Amasiam regem Iuda dicens carduus Libani misit ad cedrum quae est in Libano dicens da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem transieruntque bestiae saltus quae sunt in Libano et conculcaverunt carduum

10 percutiens invaluisti super Edom et sublevavit te cor tuum contentus esto gloria et sede in domo tua quare provocas malum ut cadas tu et Iuda tecum

11 et non adquievit Amasias ascenditque Ioas rex Israhel et viderunt se ipse et Amasias rex Iuda in Bethsames oppido Iudae

12 percussusque est Iuda coram Israhel et fugerunt unusquisque in tabernacula sua

13 Amasiam vero regem Iuda filium Ioas filii Ahaziae cepit Ioas rex Israhel in Bethsames et adduxit eum in Hierusalem et interrupit murum Hierusalem a porta Ephraim usque ad portam Anguli quadringentis cubitis

14 tulitque omne aurum et argentum et universa vasa quae inventa sunt in domo Domini et in thesauris regis et obsides et reversus est Samariam

15 reliqua autem verborum Ioas quae fecit et fortitudo eius qua pugnavit contra Amasiam regem Iuda nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel

16 dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israhel et regnavit Hieroboam filius eius pro eo

17 vixit autem Amasias filius Ioas rex Iuda postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz regis Israhel viginti quinque annis

18 reliqua autem sermonum Amasiae nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda

19 factaque est contra eum coniuratio in Hierusalem at ille fugit in Lachis miseruntque post eum in Lachis et interfecerunt eum ibi

20 et asportaverunt in equis sepultusque est in Hierusalem cum patribus suis in civitate David

21 tulit autem universus populus Iudae Azariam annos natum sedecim et constituerunt eum regem pro patre eius Amasia

22 ipse aedificavit Ahilam et restituit eam Iudae postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis

23 anno quintodecimo Amasiae filii Ioas regis Iuda regnavit Hieroboam filius Ioas regis Israhel in Samaria quadraginta et uno anno

24 et fecit quod malum est coram Domino non recessit ab omnibus peccatis Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel

25 ipse restituit terminos Israhel ab introitu Emath usque ad mare Solitudinis iuxta sermonem Domini Dei Israhel quem locutus est per servum suum Ionam filium Amathi prophetam qui erat de Geth quae est in Opher

26 vidit enim Dominus adflictionem Israhel amaram nimis et quod consumpti essent usque ad clausos carcere et extremos et non esset qui auxiliaretur Israhel

27 nec locutus est Dominus ut deleret nomen Israhel sub caelo sed salvavit eos in manu Hieroboam filii Ioas

28 reliqua autem sermonum Hieroboam et universa quae fecit et fortitudo eius qua proeliatus est et quomodo restituit Damascum et Emath Iudae in Israhel nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel

29 dormivitque Hieroboam cum patribus suis regibus Israhel et regnavit Zaccharias filius eius pro eo
