of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
014:018 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
014:019 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem;
and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish,
and killed him there.
014:020 They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem
with his fathers in the city of David.
014:021 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old,
and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
014:022 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king
slept with his fathers.
014:023 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-one years.
014:024 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh:
he didn't depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
with which he made Israel to sin.
014:025 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath
to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh,
the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son
of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.
014:026 For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter;
for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there
any helper for Israel.
014:027 Yahweh didn't say that he would blot out the name of Israel
from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam
the son of Joash.
014:028 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 had belonged] to Judah, for Israel,
aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Israel?
014:029 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel;
and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
015:001 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began
Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
015:002 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned
fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
015:003 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to
all that his father Amaziah had done.
015:004 However the high places were not taken away: the people still
sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
015:005 Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day
of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham the king's
son was over the household, judging the people of the land.
015:006 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did,
aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
