King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Amaziah[H558] 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[H517] name[H8034] was Jehoaddan[H3086] of Jerusalem.[H4480] [H3389]

2. And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] but[H7535] not[H3808] with a perfect[H8003] heart.[H3824]

3. Now it came to pass,[H1961] when[H834] the kingdom[H4467] was established[H2388] to[H5921] him, that he slew[H2026] [H853] his servants[H5650] that had killed[H5221] [H853] the king[H4428] his father.[H1]

4. But he slew[H4191] not[H3808] their children,[H1121] but[H3588] did as it is written[H3789] in the law[H8451] in the book[H5612] of Moses,[H4872] where[H834] the LORD[H3068] commanded,[H6680] saying,[H559] The fathers[H1] shall not[H3808] die[H4191] for[H5921] the children,[H1121] neither[H3808] shall the children[H1121] die[H4191] for[H5921] the fathers,[H1] but[H3588] every man[H376] shall die[H4191] for his own sin.[H2399]

5. Moreover Amaziah[H558] gathered Judah together,[H6908] [H853] [H3063] and made[H5975] them captains[H8269] over thousands,[H505] and captains[H8269] over hundreds,[H3967] according to the houses[H1004] of their fathers,[H1] throughout all[H3605] Judah[H3063] and Benjamin:[H1144] and he numbered[H6485] them from twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H4480] [H1121] and above,[H4605] and found[H4672] them three[H7969] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] choice[H977] men, able to go forth[H3318] to war,[H6635] that could handle[H270] spear[H7420] and shield.[H6793]

6. He hired[H7936] also a hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] mighty men[H1368] of valor[H2428] out of Israel[H4480] [H3478] for a hundred[H3967] talents[H3603] of silver.[H3701]

7. But there came[H935] a man[H376] of God[H430] to[H413] him, saying,[H559] O king,[H4428] let not[H408] the army[H6635] of Israel[H3478] go[H935] with[H5973] thee; for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] is not[H369] with[H5973] Israel,[H3478] to wit, with all[H3605] the children[H1121] of Ephraim.[H669]

8. But[H3588] if[H518] thou[H859] wilt go,[H935] do[H6213] it, be strong[H2388] for the battle:[H4421] God[H430] shall make thee fall[H3782] before[H6440] the enemy:[H341] for[H3588] God[H430] hath[H3426] power[H3581] to help,[H5826] and to cast down.[H3782]

9. And Amaziah[H558] said[H559] to the man[H376] of God,[H430] But what[H4100] shall we do[H6213] for the hundred[H3967] talents[H3603] which[H834] I have given[H5414] to the army[H1416] of Israel?[H3478] And the man[H376] of God[H430] answered,[H559] The LORD[H3068] is[H3426] able to give[H5414] thee much more[H7235] than this.[H4480] [H2088]

10. Then Amaziah[H558] separated[H914] them, to wit, the army[H1416] that[H834] was come[H935] to[H413] him out of Ephraim,[H4480] [H669] to go[H1980] home[H4725] again: wherefore their anger[H639] was greatly[H3966] kindled[H2734] against Judah,[H3063] and they returned[H7725] home[H4725] in great[H2750] anger.[H639]

11. And Amaziah[H558] strengthened himself,[H2388] and led forth[H5090] [H853] his people,[H5971] and went[H1980] to the valley[H1516] of salt,[H4417] and smote[H5221] [H853] of the children[H1121] of Seir[H8165] ten[H6235] thousand.[H505]

12. And other ten[H6235] thousand[H505] left alive[H2416] did the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] carry away captive,[H7617] and brought[H935] them unto the top[H7218] of the rock,[H5553] and cast them down[H7993] from the top[H4480] [H7218] of the rock,[H5553] that they all[H3605] were broken in pieces.[H1234]

13. But the soldiers[H1121] of the army[H1416] which[H834] Amaziah[H558] sent back,[H7725] that they should not go[H4480] [H1980] with[H5973] him to battle,[H4421] fell upon[H6584] the cities[H5892] of Judah,[H3063] from Samaria[H4480] [H8111] even unto[H5704] Beth-horon,[H1032] and smote[H5221] three[H7969] thousand[H505] of[H4480] them, and took[H962] much[H7227] spoil.[H961]

14. Now it came to pass,[H1961] after that[H310] Amaziah[H558] was come[H935] from the slaughter[H4480] [H5221] [H853] of the Edomites,[H130] that he brought[H935] [H853] the gods[H430] of the children[H1121] of Seir,[H8165] and set them up[H5975] to be his gods,[H430] and bowed down himself[H7812] before[H6440] them, and burned incense[H6999] unto them.

15. Wherefore the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against Amaziah,[H558] and he sent[H7971] unto[H413] him a prophet,[H5030] which said[H559] unto him, Why[H4100] hast thou sought after[H1875] [H853] the gods[H430] of the people,[H5971] which[H834] could not[H3808] deliver[H5337] [H853] their own people[H5971] out of thine hand?[H4480] [H3027]

16. And it came to pass,[H1961] as he talked[H1696] with[H413] him, that the king said[H559] unto him, Art thou made[H5414] of the king's[H4428] counsel?[H3289] forbear;[H2308] why[H4100] shouldest thou be smitten?[H5221] Then the prophet[H5030] forbore,[H2308] and said,[H559] I know[H3045] that[H3588] God[H430] hath determined[H3289] to destroy[H7843] thee, because[H3588] thou hast done[H6213] this,[H2063] and hast not[H3808] hearkened[H8085] unto my counsel.[H6098]

17. Then Amaziah[H558] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] took advice,[H3289] and sent[H7971] to[H413] Joash,[H3101] the son[H1121] of Jehoahaz,[H3059] the son[H1121] of Jehu,[H3058] king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] saying,[H559] Come,[H1980] let us see one another[H7200] in the face.[H6440]

18. And Joash[H3101] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] sent[H7971] to[H413] Amaziah[H558] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] saying,[H559] The thistle[H2336] that[H834] was in Lebanon[H3844] sent[H7971] to[H413] the cedar[H730] that[H834] was in Lebanon,[H3844] saying,[H559] Give[H5414] [H853] thy daughter[H1323] to my son[H1121] to wife:[H802] and there passed by[H5674] a wild[H7704] beast[H2416] that[H834] was in Lebanon,[H3844] and trod down[H7429] [H853] the thistle.[H2336]

19. Thou sayest,[H559] Lo,[H2009] thou hast smitten[H5221] [H853] the Edomites;[H123] and thine heart[H3820] lifteth thee up[H5375] to boast:[H3513] abide[H3427] now[H6258] at home;[H1004] why[H4100] shouldest thou meddle[H1624] to thine hurt,[H7451] that thou shouldest fall,[H5307] even thou,[H859] and Judah[H3063] with[H5973] thee?

20. But Amaziah[H558] would not[H3808] hear;[H8085] for[H3588] it[H1931] came of God,[H4480] [H430] that[H4616] he might deliver[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of their enemies, because[H3588] they sought after[H1875] [H853] the gods[H430] of Edom.[H123]

21. So Joash[H3101] the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] went up;[H5927] and they saw one another[H7200] in the face,[H6440] both he[H1931] and Amaziah[H558] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] at Beth-shemesh,[H1053] which[H834] belongeth to Judah.[H3063]

22. And Judah[H3063] was put to the worse[H5062] before[H6440] Israel,[H3478] and they fled[H5127] every man[H376] to his tent.[H168]

23. And Joash[H3101] the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] took[H8610] Amaziah[H558] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] the son[H1121] of Joash,[H3101] the son[H1121] of Jehoahaz,[H3059] at Beth-shemesh,[H1053] and brought[H935] him to Jerusalem,[H3389] and broke down[H6555] the wall[H2346] of Jerusalem[H3389] from the gate[H4480] [H8179] of Ephraim[H669] to[H5704] the corner[H6438] gate,[H8179] four[H702] hundred[H3967] cubits.[H520]

24. And he took all[H3605] the gold[H2091] and the silver,[H3701] and[H853] all[H3605] the vessels[H3627] that were found[H4672] in the house[H1004] of God[H430] with[H5973] Obed-edom,[H5654] and the treasures[H214] of the king's[H4428] house,[H1004] [H853] the hostages[H1121] [H8594] also, and returned[H7725] to Samaria.[H8111]

25. And Amaziah[H558] the son[H1121] of Joash[H3101] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] lived[H2421] after[H310] 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,[H558] first[H7223] and last,[H314] behold,[H2009] are they not[H3808] written[H3789] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the kings[H4428] of Judah[H3063] and Israel?[H3478]

27. Now after the time[H4480] [H6256] that[H834] Amaziah[H558] did turn away[H5493] from following[H4480] [H310] the LORD[H3068] they made[H7194] a conspiracy[H7195] against[H5921] him in Jerusalem;[H3389] and he fled[H5127] to Lachish:[H3923] but they sent[H7971] to Lachish[H3923] after[H310] him, and slew[H4191] him there.[H8033]

28. And they brought[H5375] him upon[H5921] horses,[H5483] and buried[H6912] him with[H5973] his fathers[H1] in the city[H5892] of Judah.[H3063]
