24 So Hazaél king_of Syria died :| and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead.
% And Jehoash the_son_of Jehoahaz took again out_of the-hand_of Ben-ha- dad the_son_of Hazaél - which he had_taken out_of the_hand_ of Jehoahaz his father by xwar. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered -the_cities_of Israél.
1 4 IN the second year of Joash son_:
of Jehoahaz king _of Israél reigned «Amaziah the_son_of Joash king_of Judah.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began_to_reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jj Jehoad- dan of Jerusalem.
3 And he did that which was xright in the_sight_of !the Lorn, yet not like David his father: he did according_to all_things as Joash his father did.
4+ Howbeit the high_places were not taken_away : as yet the people did_sac- rifice and burnt_incense on the high_ places.
5 And it came_to_pass, as soon_as the kingdom was_confirmed in his hand, that he slew his -servants which had_ slain «the king his father.
6 But -the_s children_of the murderers he slew not: according_unto that_ which_is_written in the_book_of the_ law_of Moses, wherein J the Lorn com- manded, saying, “The fathers shall not be_put_to_death for the s children, nor
'|the schildren be_put_to_death for the
fathers ; but ‘ every_man shall_be_put_ to_death for his_own sin.”
7 He slew of “Edom in the_valley_of xsalt ten thousand, and took se *Selah by xwar, and called -the_name_of it jo Joktheél unto xthis xday.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the_son_of Jehoahaz son_of Jehu, King_of Israél, saying, “*Come, Hlet_us_look_one_another in_the_face.”
9 And Jehoash the_king_of Israél sent to Amaziah king_of Judah, saying, “The tthistle that was in xLebanon sent to the cedar that was in xLeba-
_ |non, saying, ‘Give thy -daughter to my
son to wife:’ and there passed by a wild beast that was in xLebanon, and trode_down -the ‘thistle.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten “Edom, and thine heart -hath_lifted_thee_up : sglory of this, and -tarry at home: for why shouldest_thou_meddle to thy hurt, that thou -shouldest_fall, even thou, and Judah with thee ?”
11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king_of Israél went_
: and he and Amaziah king_of Judah looked_one_another in_the_face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 And Judah was_s” put_to_the_worse before Israél; and they fled ‘ every_man to their tents.
13 And Jehoash king_of Israél took -Amaziah king_of Judah, the_son_of Jehoash the_son_of Ahaziah, at Beth-
shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and
