II Chronicles 25

1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

4But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

Deuteronomy 24:16, Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20, 2 Kings 14:5, 2 Kings 14:6

5Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover.

Numbers 1:3, Numbers 1:3, 2 Chronicles 17:14, 2 Chronicles 17:18, 2 Chronicles 17:14

6And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.

7But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.

2 Chronicles 19:2, 2 Chronicles 19:2, 2 Chronicles 13:12, Hosea 9:13, Isaiah 28:1

8But go yourself, and be strong in war; God will not let you go down before those who are fighting against you; for God has power to give help or to send you down before your attackers.

2 Chronicles 14:11, 2 Chronicles 14:11, 2 Chronicles 20:6, 2 Chronicles 20:6, Philippians 4:19

9Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this.

Proverbs 10:22, Deuteronomy 8:18, Proverbs 10:22, Deuteronomy 8:18

10So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

Proverbs 29:22, 1 Kings 12:24, 2 Samuel 19:43, Proverbs 29:22, 1 Kings 12:24

11Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;

2 Kings 14:7, 2 Kings 14:7, Psalms 60:1, 2 Samuel 8:13, Psalms 60:1

12And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.

2 Chronicles 20:10, 2 Chronicles 20:10, 1 Chronicles 20:3, 2 Chronicles 21:8, 2 Chronicles 21:10

13But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.

2 Chronicles 8:5, 1 Kings 9:17, 1 Kings 16:24, 1 Kings 16:29, 2 Chronicles 8:5

14Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

2 Chronicles 28:23, 2 Chronicles 28:23, Exodus 20:3, Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 7:25

15And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands?

Psalms 96:5, Psalms 96:5, 2 Chronicles 25:11, 2 Chronicles 25:12, 2 Chronicles 25:11

16But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

2 Chronicles 24:21, Acts 4:28, Isaiah 46:10, Matthew 21:23, Ephesians 1:11

17Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

2 Kings 14:8, 2 Kings 14:14, 2 Kings 14:8, 2 Kings 14:14, Proverbs 20:3

18And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

Judges 9:8, Judges 9:15, Judges 9:8, Judges 9:15, Psalms 80:13

19You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

2 Chronicles 26:16, 2 Chronicles 26:16, 2 Chronicles 32:25, 2 Chronicles 32:25, 1 Peter 5:5

20But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom.

1 Kings 12:15, 2 Chronicles 22:7, 1 Kings 12:15, 2 Chronicles 22:7, Acts 28:25

21And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

1 Samuel 6:9, 1 Samuel 6:19, 1 Samuel 6:20, Joshua 21:16, 1 Samuel 6:9

22And Judah was overcome before Israel, and they went in flight, every man to his tent.

1 Samuel 4:10, 2 Chronicles 28:5, 2 Chronicles 28:6, 1 Kings 22:36, 1 Samuel 4:10

23And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

Nehemiah 8:16, 2 Chronicles 21:17, Nehemiah 8:16, 2 Chronicles 21:17, Jeremiah 31:38

24And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

1 Chronicles 26:15, 1 Chronicles 26:15, 2 Kings 14:14, 2 Chronicles 12:9, 2 Kings 14:14

25Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

2 Kings 14:17, 2 Kings 14:22, 2 Kings 14:17, 2 Kings 14:22

26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, are they not recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

2 Kings 14:15, 2 Chronicles 20:34, 2 Kings 14:15, 2 Chronicles 20:34

27Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

2 Chronicles 24:25, Joshua 10:31, 2 Kings 14:19, 2 Chronicles 15:2, 2 Chronicles 24:25

28And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

2 Kings 14:20, 2 Kings 14:20
