1  Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and nine⁸⁶⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Jehoaddan³⁰⁸⁶ of Jerusalem.^{4480 3389}

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

3  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was established²³⁸⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ him, that he slew^{2026 853} his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had killed^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ his father.¹

4  But he slew⁴¹⁹¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their children,¹¹²¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ did as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² where⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The fathers¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the children,¹¹²¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall the children¹¹²¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the fathers,¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ every man³⁷⁶ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ for his own sin.²³⁹⁹

5  Moreover Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ gathered Judah together,^{6908 853 3063} and made⁵⁹⁷⁵ them captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ according to the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ and he numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ them from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old^{4480 1121} and above,⁴⁶⁰⁵ and found⁴⁶⁷² them three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ choice⁹⁷⁷ men, able to go forth³³¹⁸ to war,⁶⁶³⁵ that could handle²⁷⁰ spear⁷⁴²⁰ and shield.⁶⁷⁹³

6  He hired⁷⁹³⁶ also a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ out of Israel^{4480 3478} for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver.³⁷⁰¹

7  But there came⁹³⁵ a man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ O king,⁴⁴²⁸ let not⁴⁰⁸ the army⁶⁶³⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ go⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee; for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is not³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to wit, with all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

8  But³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ wilt go,⁹³⁵ do⁶²¹³ it, be strong²³⁸⁸ for the battle:⁴⁴²¹ God⁴³⁰ shall make thee fall³⁷⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy:³⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath³⁴²⁶ power³⁵⁸¹ to help,⁵⁸²⁶ and to cast down.³⁷⁸²

9  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ But what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we do⁶²¹³ for the hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ which⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ to the army¹⁴¹⁶ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ And the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ answered,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is³⁴²⁶ able to give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee much more⁷²³⁵ than this.^{4480 2088}

10  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ separated⁹¹⁴ them, to wit, the army¹⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ him out of Ephraim,^{4480 669} to go¹⁹⁸⁰ home⁴⁷²⁵ again: wherefore their anger⁶³⁹ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ kindled²⁷³⁴ against Judah,³⁰⁶³ and they returned⁷⁷²⁵ home⁴⁷²⁵ in great²⁷⁵⁰ anger.⁶³⁹

11  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and led forth^{5090 853} his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt,⁴⁴¹⁷ and smote^{5221 853} of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ ten⁶²³⁵ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

12  And other ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ left alive²⁴¹⁶ did the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ carry away captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and brought⁹³⁵ them unto the top⁷²¹⁸ of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and cast them down⁷⁹⁹³ from the top^{4480 7218} of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ that they all³⁶⁰⁵ were broken in pieces.¹²³⁴

13  But the soldiers¹¹²¹ of the army¹⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ sent back,⁷⁷²⁵ that they should not go^{4480 1980} with⁵⁹⁷³ him to battle,⁴⁴²¹ fell upon⁶⁵⁸⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ from Samaria^{4480 8111} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beth-horon,¹⁰³² and smote⁵²²¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and took⁹⁶² much⁷²²⁷ spoil.⁹⁶¹

14  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after that³¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was come⁹³⁵ from the slaughter^{4480 5221 853} of the Edomites,¹³⁰ that he brought^{935 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ and set them up⁵⁹⁷⁵ to be his gods,⁴³⁰ and bowed down himself⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto them.

15  Wherefore the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Amaziah,⁵⁵⁸ and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ him a prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ which said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver^{5337 853} their own people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of thine hand?^{4480 3027}

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ him, that the king said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou made⁵⁴¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ counsel?³²⁸⁹ forbear;²³⁰⁸ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou be smitten?⁵²²¹ Then the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ forbore,²³⁰⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath determined³²⁸⁹ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee, because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast done⁶²¹³ this,²⁰⁶³ and hast not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my counsel.⁶⁰⁹⁸

17  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ took advice,³²⁸⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehu,³⁰⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ let us see one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

18  And Joash³¹⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The thistle²³³⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ the cedar⁷³⁰ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give^{5414 853} thy daughter¹³²³ to my son¹¹²¹ to wife:⁸⁰² and there passed by⁵⁶⁷⁴ a wild⁷⁷⁰⁴ beast²⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and trod down^{7429 853} the thistle.²³³⁶

19  Thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou hast smitten^{5221 853} the Edomites;¹²³ and thine heart³⁸²⁰ lifteth thee up⁵³⁷⁵ to boast:³⁵¹³ abide³⁴²⁷ now⁶²⁵⁸ at home;¹⁰⁰⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou meddle¹⁶²⁴ to thine hurt,⁷⁴⁵¹ that thou shouldest fall,⁵³⁰⁷ even thou,⁸⁵⁹ and Judah³⁰⁶³ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee?

20  But Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ came of God,^{4480 430} that⁴⁶¹⁶ he might deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies, because³⁵⁸⁸ they sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of Edom.¹²³

21  So Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went up;⁵⁹²⁷ and they saw one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ both he¹⁹³¹ and Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ which⁸³⁴ belongeth to Judah.³⁰⁶³

22  And Judah³⁰⁶³ was put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they fled⁵¹²⁷ every man³⁷⁶ to his tent.¹⁶⁸

23  And Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took⁸⁶¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ and brought⁹³⁵ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and broke down⁶⁵⁵⁵ the wall²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ from the gate^{4480 8179} of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the corner⁶⁴³⁸ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ cubits.⁵²⁰

24  And he took all³⁶⁰⁵ the gold²⁰⁹¹ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that were found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ Obed-edom,⁵⁶⁵⁴ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,^{1004 853} the hostages^{1121 8594} also, and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

25  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ lived²⁴²¹ after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Joash³¹⁰¹ son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fifteen^{2568 6240} years.⁸¹⁴¹

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Amaziah,⁵⁵⁸ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ are they not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

27  Now after the time^{4480 6256} that⁸³⁴ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ did turn away⁵⁴⁹³ from following^{4480 310} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ they made⁷¹⁹⁴ a conspiracy⁷¹⁹⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ him in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ and he fled⁵¹²⁷ to Lachish:³⁹²³ but they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Lachish³⁹²³ after³¹⁰ him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him there.⁸⁰³³

28  And they brought⁵³⁷⁵ him upon⁵⁹²¹ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and buried⁶⁹¹² him with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

1 ὢν πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν Αμασιας καὶ εἴκοσι ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ιωαδεν ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ

2 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει

3 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέστη ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς φονεύσαντας τὸν βασιλέα πατέρα αὐτοῦ

4 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπέκτεινεν κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ νόμου κυρίου καθὼς γέγραπται ὡς ἐνετείλατο κύριος λέγων οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ τέκνων καὶ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἕκαστος τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται

5 καὶ συνήγαγεν Αμασιας τὸν οἶκον Ιουδα καὶ ἀνέστησεν αὐτοὺς κατ᾽ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν εἰς χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους ἐν παντὶ Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς τριακοσίας χιλιάδας δυνατοὺς ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον κρατοῦντας δόρυ καὶ θυρεόν

6 καὶ ἐμισθώσατο ἀπὸ Ισραηλ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας δυνατοὺς ἰσχύι ἑκατὸν ταλάντων ἀργυρίου

7 καὶ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων βασιλεῦ οὐ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ δύναμις Ισραηλ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κύριος μετὰ Ισραηλ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Εφραιμ

8 ὅτι ἐὰν ὑπολάβῃς κατισχῦσαι ἐν τούτοις καὶ τροπώσεταί σε κύριος ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὅτι ἔστιν παρὰ κυρίου καὶ ἰσχῦσαι καὶ τροπώσασθαι

9 καὶ εἶπεν Αμασιας τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τί ποιήσω τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἃ ἔδωκα τῇ δυνάμει Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἔστιν τῷ κυρίῳ δοῦναί σοι πλεῖστα τούτων

10 καὶ διεχώρισεν Αμασιας τῇ δυνάμει τῇ ἐλθούσῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Εφραιμ ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν καὶ ἐθυμώθησαν σφόδρα ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ

11 καὶ Αμασιας κατίσχυσεν καὶ παρέλαβεν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν ἁλῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Σηιρ δέκα χιλιάδας

12 καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἐζώγρησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα καὶ ἔφερον αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ κρημνοῦ καὶ κατεκρήμνιζον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄκρου τοῦ κρημνοῦ καὶ πάντες διερρήγνυντο

13 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως οὓς ἀπέστρεψεν Αμασιας τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ιουδα ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας ἕως Βαιθωρων καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς τρεῖς χιλιάδας καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά

14 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν Αμασιαν πατάξαντα τὴν Ιδουμαίαν καὶ ἤνεγκεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς τοὺς θεοὺς υἱῶν Σηιρ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἑαυτῷ εἰς θεοὺς καὶ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν προσεκύνει καὶ αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς ἔθυεν

15 καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ κυρίου ἐπὶ Αμασιαν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ προφήτας καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τί ἐζήτησας τοὺς θεοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ οἳ οὐκ ἐξείλαντο τὸν λαὸν αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός σου

16 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ μὴ σύμβουλον τοῦ βασιλέως δέδωκά σε πρόσεχε μὴ μαστιγωθῇς καὶ ἐσιώπησεν ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι γινώσκω ὅτι ἐβούλετο ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ καταφθεῖραί σε ὅτι ἐποίησας τοῦτο καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσας τῆς συμβουλίας μου

17 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο Αμασιας καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς Ιωας υἱὸν Ιωαχαζ υἱοῦ Ιου βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων δεῦρο ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις

18 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ιωας βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Αμασιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα λέγων ὁ αχουχ ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ λέγων δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐλεύσεται τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ ἦλθαν τὰ θηρία καὶ κατεπάτησαν τὸν αχουχ

19 εἶπας ἰδοὺ ἐπάταξας τὴν Ιδουμαίαν καὶ ἐπαίρει σε ἡ καρδία ἡ βαρεῖα νῦν κάθησο ἐν οἴκῳ σου καὶ ἵνα τί συμβάλλεις ἐν κακίᾳ καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ιουδας μετὰ σοῦ

20 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Αμασιας ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου ἐγένετο τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ὅτι ἐξεζήτησεν τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν Ιδουμαίων

21 καὶ ἀνέβη Ιωας βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀλλήλοις αὐτὸς καὶ Αμασιας βασιλεὺς Ιουδα ἐν Βαιθσαμυς ἥ ἐστιν τοῦ Ιουδα

22 καὶ ἐτροπώθη Ιουδας κατὰ πρόσωπον Ισραηλ καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα

23 καὶ τὸν Αμασιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα τὸν τοῦ Ιωας κατέλαβεν Ιωας βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ἐν Βαιθσαμυς καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ πύλης Εφραιμ ἕως πύλης γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις

24 καὶ πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ παρὰ τῷ Αβδεδομ καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν

25 καὶ ἔζησεν Αμασιας ὁ τοῦ Ιωας βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ιωας τὸν τοῦ Ιωαχαζ βασιλέα Ισραηλ ἔτη δέκα πέντε

26 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Αμασιου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων Ιουδα καὶ Ισραηλ

27 καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἀπέστη Αμασιας ἀπὸ κυρίου καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ ἐπίθεσιν καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ εἰς Λαχις καὶ ἀπέστειλαν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχις καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ

28 καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῶν ἵππων καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ

1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Amasias cum regnare cœpisset, et viginti novem annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Joadan de Jerusalem.

2 Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini, verumtamen non in corde perfecto.

3 Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, jugulavit servos qui occiderant regem patrem suum,

4 sed filios eorum non interfecit, sicut scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, ubi præcepit Dominus, dicens: Non occidentur patres pro filiis, neque filii pro patribus suis, sed unusquisque in suo peccato morietur.

5 Congregavit igitur Amasias Judam, et constituit eos per familias, tribunosque et centuriones in universo Juda et Benjamin: et recensuit a viginti annis supra, invenitque trecenta millia juvenum qui egrederentur ad pugnam, et tenerent hastam et clypeum:

6 mercede quoque conduxit de Israël centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.

7 Venit autem homo Dei ad illum, et ait: O rex, ne egrediatur tecum exercitus Israël: non est enim Dominus cum Israël, et cunctis filiis Ephraim:

8 quod si putas in robore exercitus bella consistere, superari te faciet Deus ab hostibus: Dei quippe est et adjuvare, et in fugam convertere.

9 Dixitque Amasias ad hominem Dei: Quid ergo fiet de centum talentis, quæ dedi militibus Israël? Et respondit ei homo Dei: Habet Dominus unde tibi dare possit multo his plura.

10 Separavit itaque Amasias exercitum qui venerat ad eum ex Ephraim, ut reverteretur in locum suum: at illi contra Judam vehementer irati, reversi sunt in regionem suam.

11 Porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum, et abiit in vallem Salinarum, percussitque filios Seir decem millia:

12 et alia decem millia virorum ceperunt filii Juda, et adduxerunt ad præruptum cujusdam petræ, præcipitaveruntque eos de summo in præceps: qui universi crepuerunt.

13 At ille exercitus quem remiserat Amasias ne secum iret ad prælium, diffusus est in civitatibus Juda, a Samaria usque ad Bethoron, et interfectis tribus millibus, diripuit prædam magnam.

14 Amasias vero post cædem Idumæorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.

15 Quam ob rem iratus Dominus contra Amasiam misit ad illum prophetam, qui diceret ei: Cur adorasti deos qui non liberaverunt populum suum de manu tua?

16 Cumque hæc ille loqueretur, respondit ei: Num consiliarius regis es? quiesce, ne interficiam te. Discedensque propheta: Scio, inquit, quod cogitaverit Deus occidere te quia fecisti hoc malum, et insuper non acquievisti consilio meo.

17 Igitur Amasias rex Juda inito pessimo consilio, misit ad Joas filium Joachaz filii Jehu regem Israël, dicens: Veni, videamus nos mutuo.

18 At ille remisit nuntios, dicens: Carduus qui est in Libano misit ad cedrum Libani, dicens: Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem: et ecce bestiæ quæ erant in silva Libani, transierunt, et conculcaverunt carduum.

19 Dixisti: Percussi Edom, et idcirco erigitur cor tuum in superbiam: sede in domo tua: cur malum adversum te provocas, ut cadas et tu, et Juda tecum?

20 Noluit audire Amasias, eo quod Domini esset voluntas ut traderetur in manus hostium propter deos Edom.

21 Ascendit igitur Joas rex Israël, et mutuos sibi præbuere conspectus: Amasias autem rex Juda erat in Bethsames Juda:

22 corruitque Juda coram Israël, et fugit in tabernacula sua.

23 Porro Amasiam regem Juda, filium Joas filii Joachaz, cepit Joas rex Israël in Bethsames, et adduxit in Jerusalem: destruxitque murum ejus a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli quadringentis cubitis.

24 Omne quoque aurum et argentum, et universa vasa quæ repererat in domo Dei, et apud Obededom in thesauris etiam domus regiæ, necnon et filios obsidum, reduxit in Samariam.

25 Vixit autem Amasias filius Joas rex Juda, postquam mortuus est Joas filius Joachaz rex Israël, quindecim annis.

26 Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiæ priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in libro regum Juda et Israël.

27 Qui postquam recessit a Domino, tetenderunt ei insidias in Jerusalem. Cumque fugisset in Lachis, miserunt, et interfecerunt eum ibi.

28 Reportantesque super equos, sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in civitate David.
