2nd Chronicles Chapter 25 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Amaziah <H0558> [was] twenty <H6242> and five <H2568> years <H8141> old <H1121> [when] he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> twenty <H6242> and nine <H8672> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Jehoaddan <H3086> of Jerusalem. <H3389>
2: And he did <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> but not with a perfect <H8003> heart. <H3824>
3: Now it came to pass, when the kingdom <H4467> was established <H2388> to him, that he slew <H2026> his servants <H5650> that had killed <H5221> the king <H4428> his father. <H0001>
4: But he slew <H4191> not their children, <H1121> but [did] as [it is] written <H3789> in the law <H8451> in the book <H5612> of Moses, <H4872> where the LORD <H3068> commanded, <H6680> saying, <H0559> The fathers <H0001> shall not die <H4191> for the children, <H1121> neither shall the children <H1121> die <H4191> for the fathers, <H0001> but every man <H0376> shall die <H4191> for his own sin. <H2399>
5: Moreover Amaziah <H0558> gathered Judah <H3063> together, <H6908> and made <H5975> them captains <H8269> over thousands, <H0505> and captains <H8269> over hundreds, <H3967> according to the houses <H1004> of [their] fathers, <H0001> throughout all Judah <H3063> and Benjamin: <H1144> and he numbered <H6485> them from twenty <H6242> years <H8141> old <H1121> and above, <H4605> and found <H4672> them three <H7969> hundred <H3967> thousand <H0505> choice <H0977> [men, able] to go forth <H3318> to war, <H6635> that could handle <H0270> spear <H7420> and shield. <H6793>
6: He hired <H7936> also an hundred <H3967> thousand <H0505> mighty men <H1368> of valour <H2428> out of Israel <H3478> for an hundred <H3967> talents <H3603> of silver. <H3701>
7: But there came <H0935> a man <H0376> of God <H0430> to him, saying, <H0559> O king, <H4428> let not the army <H6635> of Israel <H3478> go <H0935> with thee; for the LORD <H3068> [is] not with Israel, <H3478> [to wit, with] all the children <H1121> of Ephraim. <H0669>
8: But if thou wilt go, <H0935> do <H6213> [it], be strong <H2388> for the battle: <H4421> God <H0430> shall make thee fall <H3782> before <H6440> the enemy: <H0341> for God <H0430> hath <H3426> power <H3581> to help, <H5826> and to cast down. <H3782>
9: And Amaziah <H0558> said <H0559> to the man <H0376> of God, <H0430> But what shall we do <H6213> for the hundred <H3967> talents <H3603> which I have given <H5414> to the army <H1416> of Israel? <H3478> And the man <H0376> of God <H0430> answered, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> is <H3426> able to give <H5414> thee much more <H7235> than this.
10: Then Amaziah <H0558> separated <H0914> them, [to wit], the army <H1416> that was come <H0935> to him out of Ephraim, <H0669> to go <H3212> home <H4725> again: wherefore their anger <H0639> was greatly <H3966> kindled <H2734> against Judah, <H3063> and they returned <H7725> home <H4725> in great <H2750> anger. <H0639>
11: And Amaziah <H0558> strengthened <H2388> himself, and led forth <H5090> his people, <H5971> and went <H3212> to the valley <H1516> of salt, <H4417> and smote <H5221> of the children <H1121> of Seir <H8165> ten <H6235> thousand. <H0505>
12: And [other] ten <H6235> thousand <H0505> [left] alive <H2416> did the children <H1121> of Judah <H3063> carry away captive, <H7617> and brought <H0935> them unto the top <H7218> of the rock, <H5553> and cast them down <H7993> from the top <H7218> of the rock, <H5553> that they all were broken in pieces. <H1234>
13: But the soldiers <H1121> of the army <H1416> which Amaziah <H0558> sent back, <H7725> that they should not go <H3212> with him to battle, <H4421> fell <H6584> upon the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> from Samaria <H8111> even unto Bethhoron, <H1032> and smote <H5221> three <H7969> thousand <H0505> of them, and took <H0962> much <H7227> spoil. <H0961>
14: Now it came to pass, after <H0310> that Amaziah <H0558> was come <H0935> from the slaughter <H5221> of the Edomites, <H0130> that he brought <H0935> the gods <H0430> of the children <H1121> of Seir, <H8165> and set them up <H5975> [to be] his gods, <H0430> and bowed down <H7812> himself before <H6440> them, and burned incense <H6999> unto them.
15: Wherefore the anger <H0639> of the LORD <H3068> was kindled <H2734> against Amaziah, <H0558> and he sent <H7971> unto him a prophet, <H5030> which said <H0559> unto him, Why hast thou sought <H1875> after the gods <H0430> of the people, <H5971> which could not deliver <H5337> their own people <H5971> out of thine hand? <H3027>
16: And it came to pass, as he talked <H1696> with him, that [the king] said <H0559> unto him, Art thou made <H5414> of the king's <H4428> counsel? <H3289> forbear; <H2308> why shouldest thou be smitten? <H5221> Then the prophet <H5030> forbare, <H2308> and said, <H0559> I know <H3045> that God <H0430> hath determined <H3289> to destroy <H7843> thee, because thou hast done <H6213> this, and hast not hearkened <H8085> unto my counsel. <H6098>
17: Then Amaziah <H0558> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> took advice, <H3289> and sent <H7971> to Joash, <H3101> the son <H1121> of Jehoahaz, <H3059> the son <H1121> of Jehu, <H3058> king <H4428> of Israel, <H3478> saying, <H0559> Come, <H3212> let us see <H7200> one another in the face. <H6440>
18: And Joash <H3101> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> sent <H7971> to Amaziah <H0558> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> saying, <H0559> The thistle <H2336> that [was] in Lebanon <H3844> sent <H7971> to the cedar <H0730> that [was] in Lebanon, <H3844> saying, <H0559> Give <H5414> thy daughter <H1323> to my son <H1121> to wife: <H0802> and there passed by <H5674> a wild <H7704> beast <H2416> that [was] in Lebanon, <H3844> and trode down <H7429> the thistle. <H2336>
19: Thou sayest, <H0559> Lo, thou hast smitten <H5221> the Edomites; <H0123> and thine heart <H3820> lifteth thee up <H5375> to boast: <H3513> abide <H3427> now at home; <H1004> why shouldest thou meddle <H1624> to [thine] hurt, <H7451> that thou shouldest fall, <H5307> [even] thou, and Judah <H3063> with thee?
20: But Amaziah <H0558> would not hear; <H8085> for it [came] of God, <H0430> that he might deliver <H5414> them into the hand <H3027> [of their enemies], because they sought <H1875> after the gods <H0430> of Edom. <H0123>
21: So Joash <H3101> the king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> went up; <H5927> and they saw <H7200> one another in the face, <H6440> [both] he and Amaziah <H0558> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> at Bethshemesh, <H1053> which [belongeth] to Judah. <H3063>
22: And Judah <H3063> was put to the worse <H5062> before <H6440> Israel, <H3478> and they fled <H5127> every man <H0376> to his tent. <H0168>
23: And Joash <H3101> the king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> took <H8610> Amaziah <H0558> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> the son <H1121> of Joash, <H3101> the son <H1121> of Jehoahaz, <H3059> at Bethshemesh, <H1053> and brought <H0935> him to Jerusalem, <H3389> and brake down <H6555> the wall <H2346> of Jerusalem <H3389> from the gate <H8179> of Ephraim <H0669> to the corner <H6437> gate, <H8179> four <H0702> hundred <H3967> cubits. <H0520>
24: And [he took] all the gold <H2091> and the silver, <H3701> and all the vessels <H3627> that were found <H4672> in the house <H1004> of God <H0430> with Obededom, <H5654> and the treasures <H0214> of the king's <H4428> house, <H1004> the hostages <H1121> <H8594> also, and returned <H7725> to Samaria. <H8111>
25: And Amaziah <H0558> the son <H1121> of Joash <H3101> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> lived <H2421> after <H0310> the death <H4194> of Joash <H3101> son <H1121> of Jehoahaz <H3059> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> fifteen <H2568> <H6240> years. <H8141>
26: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Amaziah, <H0558> first <H7223> and last, <H0314> behold, [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> and Israel? <H3478>
27: Now after the time <H6256> that Amaziah <H0558> did turn away <H5493> from following <H0310> the LORD <H3068> they made <H7194> a conspiracy <H7195> against him in Jerusalem; <H3389> and he fled <H5127> to Lachish: <H3923> but they sent <H7971> to Lachish <H3923> after <H0310> him, and slew <H4191> him there.
28: And they brought <H5375> him upon horses, <H5483> and buried <H6912> him with his fathers <H0001> in the city <H5892> of Judah. <H3063>
