2 Kings 14
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
a
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
a
death
for
his
b
own
c
sin.
7 He
slew
of
Edom
in
the
valley
of
a
salt
ten
thousand,
and
took
Selah
by
war,
and
called
the
name
of
it
Joktheel
unto
this
day.
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
a
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?
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
Beth-shemesh,
which
belongeth
to
Judah.
12 And
Judah
was
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel;
and
they
fled
every
man
to
their
tents.
