1	In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned# Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
			2	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.
			3	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# .
			4	Howbeit the high places were not taken away# : as yet the people did sacrifice# and burnt incense# on the high places.
			5	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.
			6	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.
			7	He slew# of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took# Selah by war, and called# the name of it Joktheel unto this day. [Selah: or, the rock]
			8	Then Amaziah sent# messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying# , Come# , let us look# one another in the face.
			9	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.
			10	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? [at home: Heb. at thy house]
			11	But Amaziah would not hear# . Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up# ; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked# one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
			12	And Judah was put to the worse# before Israel; and they fled# every man to their tents. [put...: Heb. smitten]
			13	And Jehoash king of Israel took# Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came# to Jerusalem, and brake down# the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
			14	And he took# all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found# in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages# , and returned# to Samaria.
			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?
			16	And Jehoash slept# with his fathers, and was buried# in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned# in his stead.
			17	And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived# after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen# years.
			18	And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written# in the book of the chronicles# of the kings of Judah?
			19	Now they made# a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled# to Lachish; but they sent# after him to Lachish, and slew# him there.
			20	And they brought# him on horses: and he was buried# at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
			21	And all the people of Judah took# Azariah, which was sixteen# years old, and made him king# instead of his father Amaziah. [Azariah: also called, Uzziah]
			22	He built# Elath, and restored# it to Judah, after that the king slept# with his fathers.
			23	In the fifteenth# # year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign# in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
			24	And he did# that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed# not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin# .
			25	He restored# the coast of Israel from the entering# of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake# by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.
			26	For the LORD saw# the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter# : for there was not any shut up# , nor any left# , nor any helper# for Israel.
			27	And the LORD said# not 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.
			28	Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did# , and his might, how he warred# , and how he recovered# Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written# in the book of the chronicles# of the kings of Israel?
			29	And Jeroboam slept# with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned# in his stead.
