Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:025:019 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine
heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why
shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall,
even thou, and Judah with thee?
14:025:020 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might
deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they
sought after the gods of Edom.
14:025:021 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another
in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at
Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
14:025:022 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled
every man to his tent.
14:025:023 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the
son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from
the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14:025:024 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels
that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the
treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned
to Samaria.
14:025:025 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the
death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
14:025:026 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold,
are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and
Israel?
14:025:027 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following
the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and
he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and
slew him there.
14:025:028 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his
fathers in the city of Judah.
14:026:001 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen
years old, and made him king in the room of his father
Amaziah.
14:026:002 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king
slept with his fathers.
14:026:003 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he
reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name
also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
14:026:004 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his father Amaziah did.
14:026:005 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had
understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought
the LORD, God made him to prosper.
14:026:006 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and
brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the
wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the
Philistines.
