Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
024:020 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada
the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them,
Thus says God, Why disobey you the commandments of Yahweh,
so that you can't prosper? because you have forsaken Yahweh,
he has also forsaken you.
024:021 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at
the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh.
024:022 Thus Joash the king didn't remember the kindness which
Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son.
When he died, he said, Yahweh look on it, and require it.
024:023 It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians
came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem,
and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people,
and sent all the spoil of them to the king of Damascus.
024:024 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men;
and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand,
because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
So they executed judgment on Joash.
024:025 When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick),
his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons

Shimrith the Moabitess.
024:027 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens
[laid] on him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold,
they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings.
Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
025:001 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem:
and his mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
025:002 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not
with a perfect heart.
025:003 Now it happened, when the kingdom was established to him,
that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father.
025:004 But he didn't put their children to death, but did according
to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses,
as Yahweh commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for
the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers;
but every man shall die for his own sin.
025:005 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them

and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward,
and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go
